Episode 126 – If He Gets Into The Lineup

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

In the final episode of the year, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss DFS philosophy for the final weekend, the Blue Jays’ “hangover lineup,” Matt’s playoff fever in Chicago, Francisco Lindor being the new Jhonny Peralta, Matt making a pirate joke, the rash lineup decisions sometimes made in the playoffs, Mike Mahtook’s excellence against lefties, the recent hype surrounding Matt den Dekker, Wei-Yin Chen’s opportune matchup, Chris Sale seeking the White Sox record for strikeouts in a season, mispronouncing all of the Twitter handles of our favorite followers, some managers possibly on their way out, and a final thanks to everyone involved in the podcast this year.

Contest picks for Friday, October 2: Henry Owens @ CLE (Dylan) and Erasmo Ramirez vs. TOR (Matt).

Contest picks for Saturday, October 3: Roenis Elias vs. OAK (Dylan) and Erik Johnson vs. DET (Matt).

Hank Conger has started once in the last two weeks (since Jason Castro returned from his quad injury), and it was against a lefty. Since Castro returned, Astros C starts vsRHP have been: Castro five, Max Stassi two, and Conger zero.
