FanDuel vs DraftKings: Key MLB Differences
FanDuel MLB uses a $35,000 salary cap with a roster of P, C/1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, and UTIL. Scoring rewards hitters for singles (3), doubles (6), triples (9), home runs (12), RBIs (3.5), runs (3.2), walks (3), stolen bases (6), and hit-by-pitch (3). Pitchers earn points for wins, quality starts, and strikeouts.
FanDuel's lower salary cap creates tighter roster construction. The UTIL spot adds flexibility to double-stack hitters or add a secondary mini-stack. Hitter stacking is equally important on FanDuel — target lineups with high implied totals facing weak starters and build 4-5 man stacks from consecutive batting order positions.
FanDuel MLB Scoring & Strategy
On FanDuel MLB, home runs are king at 12 points each — the single highest-value event for hitters. Target power hitters with high ISO (Isolated Power) in hitter-friendly parks. RBIs (3.5 pts) and runs scored (3.2 pts) also carry significant weight, making hitters in the heart of high-implied-total lineups premium plays.
For pitchers on FanDuel, strikeouts (3 pts) and wins (6 pts) drive scoring. Target aces with 25%+ K rates facing free-swinging lineups. Pair your ace with a 4-5 man hitter stack from a team in a favorable park factor matchup. Use the optimizer's stacking tools and ownership data to build differentiated tournament lineups.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a FanDuel lineup optimizer?
- A FanDuel lineup optimizer is a tool that uses algorithms to build the highest-projected fantasy lineups while respecting FanDuel's salary cap constraints, roster requirements, and your custom settings like player locks, exposure limits, and stacking preferences. Instead of manually building lineups, the optimizer generates mathematically optimal combinations in seconds.
- How is FanDuel scoring different from DraftKings?
- FanDuel uses half-PPR scoring for NFL (0.5 points per reception vs. DraftKings' full PPR), different salary caps ($60,000 for NFL vs. $50,000 on DraftKings), and different roster constructions. For NBA, FanDuel doesn't offer double-double or triple-double bonuses like DraftKings. These differences significantly impact optimal lineup construction.
- How much does the FTA FanDuel optimizer cost?
- FTA+ memberships start at just $9.99/week or $29.99/month, making it one of the most affordable DFS optimizer tools available. This includes full access to the lineup optimizer for both FanDuel and DraftKings, ownership projections, player props, and all premium features across NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.
- Can I optimize for both FanDuel and DraftKings?
- Yes. FTA+ includes full optimizer access for both FanDuel and DraftKings across all sports. You can switch between platforms instantly and build lineups optimized for each site's unique scoring, salary caps, and roster requirements.
- How do ownership projections work on FanDuel?
- Ownership projections estimate the percentage of lineups in a FanDuel contest that will roster each player. In tournaments (GPPs), finding low-owned players with high upside creates leverage. FanDuel ownership patterns differ from DraftKings due to scoring and salary differences, so site-specific projections are critical for building differentiated lineups.
