What is MLB showdown DFS ownership?

Showdown (single-game) slates use one MLB matchup and split every player into two roster slots: Captain/MVP (1.5x points and 1.5x salary) and FLEX/UTIL. Ownership is tracked separately for each slot, so a player can be a crowded Captain pick while his FLEX ownership stays low, or the reverse.

How do I use the game picker on this page?

Pick DraftKings or FanDuel with the site tabs, then use the game selector if more than one single-game slate is live for the night.

Why does the Captain/MVP column sometimes say it isn't posted yet?

Captain ownership is projected separately from FLEX/UTIL ownership and depends on the lineup card being confirmed. The page shows FLEX ownership as soon as it's available and fills in the Captain column once that projection is ready, rather than guessing with a placeholder number.

When is tonight's MLB showdown ownership available?

Showdown ownership usually appears once teams release their starting lineup cards, a few hours ahead of first pitch, and can keep moving right up to game time.

DraftKings has no showdown slate on the board right now.

Check back once a single-game slate is posted, usually a day or two before first pitch.

Showdown (single-game) slates split a player's ownership into two separate numbers: his FLEX/UTIL ownership and his Captain/MVP ownership, since the Captain spot carries its own 1.5x points and 1.5x salary on DraftKings and FanDuel and is chosen independently from the rest of the lineup. Watching both columns together — not just the flex number — is how you see where the field is actually building its showdown lineups.
