Even with several matinee games throughout the afternoon, there is still plenty of action awaiting on Monkey Knife Fight for tonight’s games. With so many unique contest formats and ways to win, MKF is the ideal place to make your MLB picks for tonight’s games. A couple of worthwhile MLB fantasy picks are detailed below to get you started, including one for tonight’s Mets vs. Braves showdown featuring reigning National League MVP, Freddie Freeman.
Tonight’s Top Monkey Knife Fight MLB Player Prop PicksÂ
Mets vs. Braves ‘More or Less’ Contest (5x Buy-In)
This Monkey Knife Fight MLB contest deals with total fantasy points. Like always, it pays to understand the fantasy scoring system that the platform goes by. On MKF there is no way for hitters to lose points, as strikeouts do not factor into the equation. Meanwhile, pitchers earn a single point for every out and strikeout they record while losing three for every earned run allowed. When looking at this contest for tonight’s NL East showdown between the Mets and Braves, it’s quite conceivable that all three players could go over their totals.
Atlanta pitcher Kyle Wright will have the benefit of being an unknown for the Mets hitters. In his first start back in April, he did allow two earned runs while only lasting 4.1 innings. That said, the 13 points gained by those outs recorded plus the five additional points gained on strikeouts saw Wright exceed 10.5 fantasy points in a very lackluster start. If he can be good but not great, again tonight, there’s no reason why he can’t replicate that over.
The other two players in this contest are each team’s respective first baseman. After a two-hit effort yesterday, the Mets’ Pete Alonso has recorded a hit in four of the last five games. He also homered on Sunday. While Wright is unknown, he is also not a sure thing. Perhaps Alonso can get to him or the shaky Atlanta bullpen tonight. Meanwhile, Freddie Freeman and the Braves have the honor of welcoming New York starter Tylor Megill to the big leagues tonight. Although 2021 has been a far cry from Freeman’s MVP campaign last year, one has to believe he can get the better of this matchup tonight.Â

Red Sox vs. Rays ‘Rapidfire’ Contest (3x Buy-In)
The second contest features a pair of head-to-head matchups. The same scoring as above applies for making these MLB fantasy picks. In the first head-to-head, look to back Red Sox outfielder J.D. Martinez catching half a fantasy point to Rays’ first baseman Brandon Lowe. Not only does Martinez carry an 11-game hitting streak into tonight’s matchup, but he also counts a home run among his three prior hits off of Tampa Bay starter Rich Hill. This has been a miserable season at the plate thus far for Lowe. An 0-for-5 showing yesterday dropped his batting average below the Mendoza Line.Â
In the second matchup to round out this MLB picks contest, outfielder Randy Arozarena is laying 0.5 fantasy points to his Rays teammate, Austin Meadows. After three straight games without a hit, Arozarena got back on track yesterday with a three-hit performance. Unless one bases their Monkey Knife Fight MLB strategy off of recent games, it’s hard to go against Arozarena here. His batting average is 40 points better than that of Meadows on the season. While the Tampa catcher did string together a six-game hitting streak recently, he has now gone hitless in each of the last two.
