PrizePicks for July 28

As inclement weather and the coronavirus pandemic continue to alter MLB slates, the only change on Tuesday’s PrizePicks slate is the inclusion of both Indians vs White Sox games, as the two will play a doubleheader.

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 4-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 seven PrizePicks for the Tuesday slate, which starts at 3:40 p.m. ET with the first game of the Indians vs White Sox doubleheader. Be sure to double-check which Indians or White Sox player you select, as different players pertain to different games given the doubleheader.

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