Right now BeatVig prices 7 MLB props at both. Pick6 is the cheaper side on 3 of them and Fanatics Sportsbook on 4. That is fewer than 30 comparable props, which is too small a sample to state as a percentage, so the counts are published on their own. This is the board as it stands at 05 Oct 13:23 ET, not an average over any period — BeatVig measures live prices and keeps no price history.
How they differ
Pick6 and Fanatics Sportsbook are both sportsbooks: each posts its own line and keeps its margin inside the two prices rather than charging it separately. Which of them is cheaper is not a constant and is not something this page asserts: every prop Pick6 and Fanatics Sportsbook both price right now is converted to the implied probability of the same outcome and counted below, so the answer moves with the two boards rather than with the date this page was written.

How each one charges
- Pick6
- Pick6 is a sportsbook: it posts its own line and prices both sides itself, taking the other side of the bet rather than matching two users against each other.
- Pick6's margin sits inside the two prices rather than arriving as a separate charge, so it is paid on every bet whether that bet wins or loses. The hold measured below is what that costs on the props Pick6 is quoting right now — add both sides' implied probabilities together and the amount past 100% is the margin on that market.
- BeatVig has not written a coverage note for Pick6. What it quotes right now is measured directly from the board below rather than described from memory.
- Fanatics Sportsbook
- Fanatics Sportsbook is a traditional sportsbook: it sets the line and prices both sides with its own margin included, rather than matching two users against each other the way an exchange does.
- Fanatics builds its margin into the price instead of charging a visible fee, so the cost applies to every bet regardless of the result. Reading it means adding the two sides' implied probabilities together and seeing how far past 100% they land.
- Fanatics spreads its player-prop coverage across more players than any other venue on this site while keeping to the core yardage markets — passing, rushing and receiving yards — so it is broad across the slate rather than deep on any one game.
