Episode 229 – Going Back To The Well

The latest episode of “Field of Streams” is live!

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Dylan’s adventures in fake moustaches, getting confused about Cameron Rupp’s splits, a pitcher-heavy early half of the split slate, re-considering Rich Hill in Colorado, picking against bad Orioles and Brewers starters even after getting burned on Tuesday, getting to pick Chris B. Young again, Brandon Finnegan’s surprisingly unfortunate matchup, Luis “The Cordoban Kid” Cessa, not having a show on Thursday, Matt’s fantasy football draft results, and the .gif of Matt’s facial hair adventure.

Contest picks for Wednesday, August 31: Luke Weaver @ MIL (Dylan), Luis Cessa @ KC (Matt) and Tyler Anderson vs. LAD (Dylan and Matt).

Contest pick for Thursday, September 1: Mike Montgomery vs. NYM (Dylan and Matt).
