PrizePicks for August 10

We have one week left of seeding games in the NBA before the playoffs start next week and at the same time, the MLB continues to push through their abbreviated season, making for a full slate of PrizePicks for both sports.

Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production.

The format is simple. You pick two, three, or four players and predict whether they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total.

When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:

• Two-pick entry pays 2.5x (max entry: $400)
• Three-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $200)
• Four-pick entry pays 10x (max entry: $100)

As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option if you choose to run a four-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.

Below are my top five PrizePicks for the Monday slates in both NBA and MLB. NBA locks at 2:30 p.m. ET while the MLB slate starts at 6:05 p.m.

I will be mixing and matching my pick combinations from the pool below, with my favorite combination(s) also included.
