Semi-Exclusive MLB $5K Contest *NOTE CHANGE*

*PLEASE NOTE* Due to the current riots and overall situation in Baltimore, Wednesday's game originally scheduled FOR 7:05pm ET (and included as a game in the contest) was rescheduled to 2:05pm ET in the afternoon (and removed from the contest).
This was a unique situation new to DraftKings and they had to cancel the original contest draft room and create an entirely new contest. There are now just the 8 late games in the contest.
If you entered the contest prior to this afternoon, you will have to click on the link again and re-join. Please double check to make sure you are entered into the new contest room. The links in the original post have been updated to the correct room, or you can use this one - MLB $5K Free Contest (Beginner Only)
DraftKings and Betting Talk would like to apologize for the inconvenience. It's just really unfortunate what's going on in Baltimore.
