In anticipation of another non-competitive Miami Marlins season, Fish Stripes concocted the idea for a new daily contest to add intrigue to every game. Just in time for Opening Day 2019, “Fish Picks” was born.
Contestants were presented with several props (usually five total) customized for the upcoming Marlins game and instructed to submit their picks prior to first pitch. Results were updated following the game along with monthly and season-long leaderboards, all housed in this document.
In total, 211 different accounts played along this season.
