Expert picks and fan contests

Pickwatch is the home of expert picks, and just because the MLB has roughly 7 million games each season, that doesn't stop us! We have every money line, ATS (run line) and points total pick for every game. There are no days off, no missed games, if an expert makes a pick, we get it, and then you do too, instantly.

And unlike most expert picks, that have only a handful of experts, we track dozens of experts daily, and hundreds of fans! You can win a share of the $5,000 prize pot for 2026, with monthly money line, ATS and O/U prizes, as well as bigger season prizes.

As you can see, this is also a chance to 'tail' the hottest fans and experts every day, with some fans making huge profits every season, and winning prizes to boot!

You can also make picks ahead of time, by heading to the live scoreboard, or the expert pages for that day.

You have to be in it to win it, so get into it and check out all of the rules here:

How can I win?

For this season's contest all of our prizes are based on total wins. Just make your picks as normal on our main page, on the Pickwatch app or via our new dedicated contest leaderboard page, and you will be in with a chance to win real cash prizes.

At the end of each month and at the end of the season, we'll have a prize on offer for the fan with the most wins in each category. As a tie-breaker, the fan with the most profit from their moneyline, spread, and points total picks will triumph.

How to enter

To take part in our contests, you have to simply make picks. This can be done either using the Pickwatch app or the Pickwatch website.

When you make your picks, as long as there are odds available for the game, a $50 stake is added to the pick. You can decrease this to as little as $0, if you are not entirely confident with the pick, or increase it to $100, if you think it's definitely the right call.

Your picks are locked in as soon as the game starts, and no further changes can be made. When the game ends, you'll receive a profit amount based on your stake and the odds when you made your pick.

That's it! That's how to take part in our 2026 MLB contest. Good luck!
