MLB DFS Underdog Player Props Today – August 25, 2022

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox Underdog Fantasy Play: Kevin Gausman Over 6.0 Strikeouts

7:10 p.m. ET

Gausman has a 9-9 record with a 2.99 ERA. Last time Gausman started against the Boston Red Sox he had 10 strikeouts. The Red Sox have been struggling and I think Gausman will take advantage of that as he gets us more than 6 strikeouts.

Minnesota Twins vs. Houston Astros Underdog Fantasy Play: Chris Archer Over 4.5 Hits Allowed

8:10 p.m. ET

Chris Archer is 2-6 and he has a 4.02 ERA. Chris Archer has not lasted very long in his last couple of starts but I think tonight he will get through 5 innings and allow at least 1 hit per inning. I think the Astros have a good hitting lineup and they should have no problems getting hits off of Archer.

New York Yankees vs. Oakland Athletics Underdog Fantasy Play: James Kaprielian Over 2.5 Earned Runs

9:40 p.m. ET

James Kaprielian has a 3-7 record with a 4.29 ERA. I think James will struggle against a Yankees team that has gained some momentum back after a rough patch of games. I think James will have trouble and I could see him allowing 2 or 3 runs in the 1st 2 innings only.

Los Angeles Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays Underdog Fantasy Play: Shane McClanahan Over 7.0 Strikeouts 

7:10 p.m. ET

Shane McClanahan has a record of 11-5 with a 2.29 ERA. He is a great pitcher and was a starting pitcher in the All-Star game this season. The Angels are the most struck-out team in all of baseball and they will strike out tonight. McClanahan will deal tonight and get us more than 7 strikeouts. 

Toronto Blue Jays vs. Boston Red Sox Underdog Fantasy Play: Jose Berrios Over 5.5 Hits Allowed 

7:10 p.m. ET

Jose Berrios is 9-5 with a 5.39 ERA. In six of the last seven starts for Berrios, he has allowed 6 hits or more. I trust he will do it again tonight against a good Boston Red Sox lineup with three guys in or close to a .300 batting average. Berrios will struggle and allow lots of hits. 

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Underdog Fantasy Play: Freddie Freeman Over 7.5 Hitter Fantasy Score 

9 p.m. ET

Freddie Freeman has a batting average of .324 this season. He leads the Dodgers with 154 hits and 16 home runs. Freeman has a favorable matchup against Adrian Houser, who is 4-8 record with a 4.72 ERA. I believe Freeman will get multiple hits and even hit go yard here.

Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Underdog Fantasy Play: Max Fried Over 6.0 Strikeouts 

7:05 p.m. ET

Max Fried is 11-4 with a 2.60 ERA. Max Fried has had a great season and last night against the Pirates, Braves pitcher Jake Odorizzi had 7 strikeouts through 6 innings pitched. I think Max Fried is the better pitcher and he will have even more success then Odorizzi did. I think Max Fried will go at least 6 innings and get us at least 1 strikeout per inning. 

Cincinnati Reds vs. Philadelphia Phillies Underdog Fantasy Play: Nick Lodolo Over 5.0 Hits Allowed 

7:05 p.m. ET 

Nick Lodolo has a 3-4 record with a 4.12 ERA. Nick has allowed at least 4 hits in all of his last 7 starts. Today he has a tough challenge against a good Phillies team. I think Nick will play good enough to last at least 6 innings but I also think he will allow a lot of hits in this one. 

Milwaukee Brewers vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Underdog Fantasy Play: Corbin Burnes Over 7.0 Strikeouts 

10:10 p.m. ET

Corbin Burnes is 9-5 with a 2.48 ERA. Burnes has 187 total strikeouts on the year. In his last start he played against the Dodgers and he had 6 strikeouts. I think that was not one of his good starts and I think he will be much better tonight. Burnes should have no problem getting us at least 7 strikeouts. 

MLB Underdog DFS Player Props Today – August 22, 2022

New York Mets vs. New York Yankees Underdog Play: Max Scherzer Over 7.0 Strikeouts

7:05 p.m. ET

Max Scherzer is 9-2 with a 2.15 ERA on the year. Scherzer is a great strikeout pitcher and was able to cash his over prop last time we took it. The Yankees have been struggling and I expect that to continue today against a great pitcher. 

Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates Underdog Play: Austin Riley Over 1.5 Total Bases 

7:05 p.m. ET

Austin Riley has 136 hits and a team high 31 home runs. Riley is a great hitter and is one of the better hitters in this league. Austin Riley gets a favorable matchup against the Pirates today who have Contreras on the mound with a 3-3 record and a 4.02 ERA. I think Austin Riley will get multiple hits or even an extra base hit. 

Los Angeles Angels vs. Tampa Bay Rays Underdog Play: Mike Trout Under 7.5 Fantasy Points

7:10 p.m. ET

Mike Trout has been on and off this year as he has been dealing with an injury this season. The Angels have been struggling very bad as they are 4-6 in their last 10 games. I think Mile Trout will struggle tonight as the Angels lose yet another game.

Saint Louis Cardinals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Underdog Fantasy Play: Merill Kelly Over 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed

4:10 p.m. ET

Merrill Kelly is 10-5 with a 2.81 ERA. He is one of the better pitchers for the Diamondbacks but he
has a very tough test today against the Cardinals. The Cardinals are coming off a 16-run game
and I think they have all the momentum they need.

Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics Underdog Fantasy Play: Luis
Castillo Over 7.0 Strikeouts

4:07 p.m. ET

Luis Castillo is 5-4 with a 2.73 ERA. He is coming off a 9-strikeout game in which we took his
over 7.0 strikeouts in that game and got the cash. Today I have similar reasons for liking these
props. I think Castillo is a great strikeout pitcher and I see him getting these strikeouts with no
problems.

Boston Red Sox vs. Baltimore Orioles Underdog Fantasy Play: N. Pivetta
and D. Kremer Over 0.5 1st Inning Runs Allowed

7:10 p.m. ET

Today we see two great hitting teams against 2 pitchers with ERAs above 3.5. I think the batters
will win this 1st inning battle and we will have no problem cashing the YRFI. I think this is a safe
bet and a perfect way to complete our underdog entry.
