Jeff "Rotomania" Rowe was the only FBC qualifier to roll out Gerrit Cole on the mound today and it's paying off handsomely. The Pirates pitcher has thrown five no-hit innings thus far with seven strikeouts and is the highest scoring pitcher at the moment.
Rowe still trails Jay "DirtyGirl15" Raynor but is climbing up the leaderboard.
After three days of fun in the sun, it was time to get serious at the DraftKings Fantasy Baseball Championship. With $1 million going to the winner, players carefully made the lineup selections before heading to the Aura NightClub in Atlantis for the viewing party.
Nearly everyone was high on Atlanta Braces pitcher Alex Wood tonight. Wood is a member of an astonishing 74% of the FBC entries, and many of those teamed Wood up with Cincinnati Reds ace Johnny Cueto. Here's a look at the most popular picks at each position in this championship event:
| Position | Player | Ownership% |
|---|---|---|
| Pitcher | Alex Wood (ATL) | 74% |
| Pitcher | Johnny Cueto (CIN) | 50% |
| Catcher | Derek Norris (OAK) | 38% |
| 1st Base | Jose Abreu (CWS) | 28% |
| 2nd Base | Logan Forsythe (TB) | 26% |
| 3rd Base | Todd Frazier (CIN) | 26% |
| Shortstop | Jose Reyes (TOR) | 26% |
| Outfield | Jose Bautista (TOR) | 34% |
| Outfield | Jarrod Dyson (KC) | 26% |
| Outfield | Yeonis Cespedes (BOS) | 24% |
Jonathan "TheVault" Piening went from DFS newbie to one of the industry's top talents in a short amount of time. He's relatively new to baseball but won't be overlooked as one of the favorites in this event.
Jay "DirtyGirl15" darted into the lead with the help of a Dustin Pedroia home run in the first inning, and he's since increased his margin with the help of three shutout innings from Phillies ace Cole Hamels. Raynor is one of only a few players with three entries in this event. Scroll down through the live updates to view his pregame interview with PokerNews.
Chris "Draconfire" Buck isn't one of the more well-known fantasy baseball players in the DFS industry, but he'll have two chances to claim the $1 million prize at the DraftKings Fantasy Baseball Championship.
We were shocked to learn that Chris "gcnmoo" Moore missed the roster deadline for one of his lineups, which means one of his two entries is disqualified. Moore will have to settle for $7,500 for his DQ'd lineup but he's still drawing live for $1 million with his other team.
Dustin Pedroia's early home run puts DirtyGirl15, MarkGenorex and CSURam88 on top of the #FBC leaderboard early! #DKTVFollow @DraftKings
