BIG NOTE: I had some trouble pulling Fanduel data for yesterday’s slate so today will only have a breakdown for Draftkings.  I will still include the charts with updated data through Friday night’s games.  Full breakdown will return tomorrow. 

For the MLB lineup study, we are looking at the winners of the MLB Relay Throw 150 max and the MLB Four-Seamer 20 max tournaments on Draftkings and we are also looking at the MLB Squeeze 150 max tournament on Fanduel.  Please note, I am only looking at Main slates for each site.
