The World Baseball Classic

Baseball has always been America’s favorite national pastime. During the season, fans like to watch and have their fantasy teams. One of the more underground and under celebrated baseball events is the World Baseball Classic. This is in part because it is one of the newest installments of international sports competition, similar to the World Cup for Soccer, and only had it’s inception back in 2006. The World Baseball Classic is in July where the MLB’s top players compete with other top baseball players from around the world. Fans from everywhere in the globe gather to watch this event because it is very exciting to see how each country’s players and teams performs against other countries. Because top players are facing off against each other, it is a rare opportunity for baseball fans to see the skills of players from other countries. With such excitement and anticipation around the World Baseball Classic, people are looking to see if there will be Daily Fantasy Sport contests on the tournaments. If one is being held, draftkings will most likely host the fantasy sport contests because they have done a lot of other tournaments that are similar to the World Baseball Classic. Draftkings have done soccer tournaments so they have the experience to host something like this for baseball. Having a fantasy baseball tournament like this will be very exciting for fans because they have more players to choose from and potentially earn more money for every win for the team. Fans will have the opportunity to have top players on their fantasy teams and see how well they play and benefit the fantasy team. This will increase the amount of fantasy players during the summer and potentially drive up the popularity of Daily Fantasy baseball. During this time, Draftkings and fanduel will have more strategy posts and top picks for fantasy players to decide which players they want on their fantasy team during the World baseball Classic. The World Baseball Classic is a treat for all baseball fans. But be weary, by having so many international players it is very difficult to properly pinpoint which players to roster for your daily fantasy baseball lineups. To combat this, it is imperative that you do thorough research not only for MLB players, but especially for the international players in their domestic leagues where they play annually. These stats and research is hard to come by so be careful on what you best and who roster because the MLB’s opening day is right around the corner.
