The summer’s marquee DFS baseball events got a little more competitive this weekend.
“Maxdalury,” one of the top players in the industry, earned spots in DraftKings’ Fantasy Baseball World Championship and FanDuel’s World Fantasy Baseball Championship.
Each event features live finals in Las Vegas next month and $1 million top prizes.
Both of Sunday’s qualifying wins are the first for Max in these events, but he’s a mainstay in the money. Currently, he’s ranked No. 1 in the world on RotoGrinders.com’s overall rankings, Tournament Player of the Year rankings, MLB rankings and PGA rankings.
Leaning heavily on Angels and Lance Lynn on both sites, Max dominated the field Sunday and took three of the top four spots and four of the top six in the FanDuel qualifier. The qualifying wins were only part of Max’s big night; he also brought home $38,500 via three top-10 finishes in FanDuel’s Monster and DraftKings’ Perfect Game tournaments.
