Prime-Time First TD Bets — Monday Night Football, Week 16
Alex Christenson
The MLB has a rather calm eight-game slate on Monday after a massive Father’s Day slate, but with no NBA games on tap, there’ll be extra eyes on the diamond, making it the perfect slate for some PrizePicks.
Speaking of “PrizePicks” in general, it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production. To dive into the ins and outs of everything PrizePicks, FTN’s Tyler Loechner wrote a comprehensive App Review.
How to Play PrizePicks MLB
For the sake of this MLB article, the format is simple.
You pick two, three, or four players and predict whether or not they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total, or their single-stat total.
When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:
- Two-pick entry pays 3x (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. This provides an added level of security on your entry where you can decrease your multiplier received if you miss one of your entries but hit on all of the others.
The slate locks at 7:05 PM ET.
An important note – these lines can shift over the course of the day leading up until lock. The lines that I am quoting are at the time of writing (Monday morning). I will be in the PrizePicks discord channel (which is FREE!) up until lock to help out with how to adjust to the changing projections.
