Brewers vs. Cubs Picks & Predictions: Thursday’s MLB Opening Day Matchup Landing Smart Money

*Odds as of Thursday morning

The 2022 MLB season gets underway on Thursday with seven Opening Day matchups on today’s schedule.

And while Red Sox vs. Yankees and Mariners vs. Twins have already been postponed due to inclement weather, so there’s plenty of Opening Day action to whet the appetite of MLB bettors.

Player props have become among the most popular bets in the industry, but while the amount of states with legalized gambling is growing, some may feel left out.

Enter: PrizePicks.

With PrizePicks, you get the opportunity to essentially parlay game prop over/unders with cash payouts depending on how many you get correct on that day’s slate.

Therefore, let’s take a look at some of the options on today’s Major League Baseball slate and see where we can find some value to turn a profit.

A quick refresher if you aren’t familiar with PrizePicks: you can combine up to five different O/U player props to payout up to 10x your wager.

You can do a Flex Play or a Power Play. A Flex Play gives you lesser odds, but you can win money even if you don’t nail every pick. Meanwhile, a Power Play is similar to a parlay — it’s all or nothing.

Here’s how I would approach today’s slate in Major League Baseball.
