Don't *just* copy their lineups. Actually study them and see what player archetypes they are using. Look at all the teams stats before you exit. What's the percentage of innings thrown by a lefty (how important is it for you to have players that can hit one or both sides of the plate). Think about how you can take advantage of what the "meta" seems to be.

Are they using high strikeout, high control pitchers with low movement? Are they using movement heavy pitchers that don't strike anyone out? Are they using control oriented pitchers? Groundballers?

For lineups. How many sluggers are you facing? How many speedsters that don't strike out? There's a lot to think about, if you want to do more than just "These guys were in winning lineups, I'll use them" (which also works, but at that point you are just asking the RNG to favor you if you have the same players as everyone else. Which is a viable strategy in lower tournaments that fill up/run at the pace of lightning.)
