FanDuel and DraftKings have announced their live finals for the 2018 MLB season, and qualifiers have already taken place.

It’s not too late to get into the action! Here’s a quick look at each site’s live finals, how to get there, and what you can possibly win.

FanDuel World Fantasy Baseball Championship

FanDuel will be hosting their event in beautiful San Diego on August 16th through the 18th with a $1.5 million dollar prize pool that will see the winner walk away with a $300,000 payday and the title of WFBC Champion.
