PrizePicks Returns as Official DFS Partner of Atlanta Braves
PrizePicks, the largest fantasy sports operator in North America, announced that the company has reunited with the organization’s hometown Major League Baseball team, the Atlanta Braves, as the club’s Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner. This new deal revives an alliance that was born in the pandemic-affected 2020 season.
As part of the agreement, the PrizePicks brand will be prominently featured on the Tower LED in Truist Park during all Atlanta Braves home games, which is fitting considering the PrizePicks team is growing rapidly with local hiring. PrizePicks will also be introduced as an official partner of the Braves during the radio broadcasts of all 162 regular season games throughout the 2023 season, which will include a daily player prediction segment.
“We are honored to partner with the Braves again, a testament to our commitment to being a major part of the Georgia sports ecosystem. The Braves are a legendary franchise and perennial championship contenders, the type of sustained level of excellence to which we aspire as an organization every day,” Adam Wexler, Co-Founder and CEO of PrizePicks, said.
Baseball has consistently been a top-performing fantasy sports market for PrizePicks, with the company increasing the number and variety of product offerings each passing season. In 2022, PrizePicks tripled the number of daily MLB projections by adding dozens of new statistical markets and creating live in-game projections for every MLB game.
“PrizePicks shares our commitment to thoughtful innovation and providing an optimal fan experience. We are proud to welcome them back as a partner,” said Jim Allen, Atlanta Braves Senior Vice President of Corporate and Premium Partnerships for the Braves.
