Yahoo launched its Daily Fantasy Sports product Wednesday and apparently intends to offer just the four major sports—NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL—out of the chute. Since three of the four sports are out of season, that leaves baseball as the only DFS option until Sept. 10, the NFL’s opening night.
Interested in knowing the scoring rules? We’ve provided a table below comparing Yahoo’s MLB rules to those at FanDuel and DraftKings. Keep in mind, Yahoo’s roster consists of 10 lineup positions—including two starting pitcher spots—which is the same as DraftKings.
You can read Yahoo’s full scoring rules here.
