Estonia Open Senior - geometry, 2019.1.1

Juri and Mari play the following game. Juri starts by drawing a random triangle on a piece of paper. Mari then draws a line on the same paper that goes through the midpoint of one of the midsegments of the triangle. Then Juri adds another line that also goes through the midpoint of the same midsegment. These two lines divide the triangle into four pieces. Juri gets the piece with maximum area (or one of those with maximum area) and the piece with minimum area (or one of those with minimum area), while Mari gets the other two pieces. The player whose total area is bigger wins. Does either of the players have a winning strategy, and if so, who has it?
