PrizePicks for September 29

Unlike the last few weeks, we are starting to reach a relatively quiet time around the sports world, especially during the week. With the NBA finals kicking off Wednesday, the NHL Stanley Cup wrapping up Monday and no NFL in the middle of the week, the only major sport taking place Tuesday is playoff baseball — which is what I will be highlighted in this article.

My focus for this article will be around a site called “PrizePicks,” 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.

MLB games kick off at 2 p.m. ET Tuesday and run throughout the night, making for a full day of playoff baseball. Below are my five favorite PrizePicks for the MLB playoff slate.
