How to Play PrizePicks MLB

PrizePicks is the easiest way to play MLB DFS. When you create an account, use promo code Playbook to get $50 instantly loaded into your account when you play your first $5 lineup.

Creating a lineup is easy, and you don’t have to use just MLB squares — you can mix and match.

Here’s how to create an MLB lineup on PrizePicks:

  1. Choose two or more players (up to six) from any sport on the board.
  2. Pick MORE or LESS on the player's projected stats.
  3. Choose FLEX or POWER PLAY lineup. With Flex plays, you still win if one pick misses. With Power Plays, you’ll receive higher payouts, but every pick must be right.
  4. Sweat your lineup and stay in the green to receive your payout.

PrizePicks MLB Fantasy Scoring System

For every MLB game, you can choose more or less on a pitcher or hitter’s fantasy score projection, in addition to a plethora of other stats. Rather than building a full team, you can choose your favorite players based on their PrizePicks fantasy projection.

Demons and Goblins on PrizePicks MLB fantasy scoring

Demons are identified by a bold red Gobby icon on the projection board. Demons are high-difficulty projections that can rocket your max payout up to 1000x your Lineup fee if you pick correctly. You must pick “More” on a Demon projection.

Goblins are identified by a green Gobby icon on the projection board and they’re designed to keep you in the green. These are safer picks that make it easier to land consistent victories. Because these projections are easier to hit, your max payout multiplier will be lower. You must pick “More” on a Demon projection.
