Daily Fantasy Company PrizePicks Partners With Braves

Atlanta-based PrizePicks, a fast-growing daily fantasy game, today is announcing a marketing partnership with the Braves for the remainder of the truncated '20 season. Through this partnership, Braves fans can fully engage with the games without being inside Truist Park. The Braves will encourage fans to play PrizePicks alongside their TV viewing experience. PrizePicks earlier this season secured a similar marketing deal with the Marlins. The DFS operator also has deals with the American Cornhole League, Outlaw Golf Tour and the SMITE Pro League within the past 12 months. PrizePicks, which centers around over-under predictions of fantasy point projections, has seen weekly and monthly highs in engagement since the return of live sports.

PrizePicks had already partnered with former Braves star Andruw Jones in the fall of '19, when he became a shareholder. Jones said in a statement: “Their market is on fire, and they have a product I knew could be huge from the moment I saw it. Seeing the Braves partner with PrizePicks was only a matter of time, and it’s great to know my former team sees the potential in the company just like I do. Their industry will see massive growth in the coming years.”
