Episode 149 – I’m Cheating With The Giants

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss an obligatory Star Wars reference, Dylan’s modest bragging about a Steven Wright pick, Matt’s possibly crazy prediction about Jose Quintana, a history of bad starters in the back of the White Sox rotation, loving every Giants hitter as a pick again, learning how to pronounce Sean Manaea’s name, Dylan being more of a Chris Carter guy than a Joey Votto guy, reasons to like Brett Nicholas, looking into the very small sample size that is Chris B. Young’s splits this year, remembering John Danks, and scoping out things on iTunes that aren’t quite “Field of Streams.”

Contest picks for Wednesday, May 4: Rubby De La Rosa @ MIA (Dylan) and Sean Manaea vs. SEA (Matt).

Suggested DFS picks worth attention for Wednesday, May 4: Wilson Ramos, Chris Iannetta, Brian McCann, Brett Nicholas, Joey Votto, Anthony Rizzo, Lucas Duda, Chris Carter, Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Abreu, Wil Myers, Carlos Santana, Neil Walker, Daniel Murphy, Jason Kipnis, Tommy La Stella, Derek Dietrich, Jonathan Schoop, Logan Forsythe, Rougned Odor, Kris Bryant, Nolan Arenado, Manny Machado, Todd Frazier, Maikel Franco, Evan Longoria, Asdrubal Cabrera, Francisco Lindor, Trevor Story, Carlos Correa, Aledmys Diaz, Dexter Fowler, Michael Conforto, Curtis Granderson, Domingo Santana, Ryan Braun, Mike Trout, Nelson Cruz, Franklin Gutierrez, Mark Trumbo, Nomar Mazara, Michael Saunders, Christian Yelich, the Rays outfielders, Chris B. Young, Enrique Hernandez, Adam Eaton, Mookie Betts, Colby Rasmus, the Cardinals outfielders, Jon Lester, Steven Matz, Sean Manaea, Corey Kluber, Jake Peavy, Aaron Sanchez, Rubby De La Rosa, Jose Fernandez, Drew Smyly, Mike Fiers, and every hitter in the Giants lineup. Again.
