Episode 45 – A Little Rajai

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss returning from the submarine, keeping an eye on some catchers who are day-to-day, Matt refusing to put any faith in Tyler Flowers, Matt’s new favorite sneaky pick at first base, not worrying too much about low batting averages in DFS, being skeptical about Ruben Tejada’s success, betting against Dylan’s contest picks as a strategy, a foretelling matchup between Ubaldo Jimenez and Danny Salazar, a nebulous matchup between Odrisamer Despaigne and Michael Lorenzen, the Mariners DFA’ing Justin Ruggiano, and Matt’s dog ready to be activated.

Contest picks for Friday, June 5: Charlie Morton @ ATL (Dylan) and Kyle Ryan @ CWS (Matt).

Contest picks for Saturday, June 6: Jesse Chavez @ BOS (Dylan) and Chase Anderson vs. NYM (Matt).

4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.

8. Get FanGraphs Walk-Off, a customized year end review! Find out exactly how you used FanGraphs this year, and how that compares to other Members. Don't be a victim of FOMO.
