RotoGraphs Audio: Field of Streams 6/18/2015

by Dylan Higgins
June 18, 2015

Episode 54 – That’s Pitching For Ya

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss helpful feedback on technical difficulties, closer looks at Anthony Ranaudo and Joey Gallo, pitchers that have disappointed this year, hesitating on DFS picks based on a lack of a supporting cast, the weird scheduling of a split series, Paul Goldschmidt’s historic dominance against left-handed pitching, comparing Brad Miller and Jimmy Rollins, and a guest appearance by some background birds.

Contest picks for Thursday, June 18: Jaime Garcia @ MIN (Dylan) and Mike Montgomery vs. SF (Matt).

Contest pick for Friday, June 19: Kyle Hendricks @ MIN (Dylan and Matt).

Suggested DFS picks worth attention for Thursday, June 18: Brian McCann, Buster Posey, Yasmani Grandal, Evan Gattis, Matt Wieters, Ryan Howard, Chris Davis, Chris Carter, Paul Goldschmidt, Lucas Duda, Joey Votto, Adam Lind, Adrian Gonzalez, Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera, Brian Dozier, Kolten Wong, Jace Peterson, Robinson Cano, Jose Altuve, Jeff Baker, Manny Machado, Trevor Plouffe, Matt Carpenter, Luis Valbuena, Yasmany Tomas, Matt Duffy, Todd Frazier, Kris Bryant, Joey Gallo, Jhonny Peralta, Adeiny Hechavarria, Brad Miller, Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Correa, Troy Tulowitzki, Jose Reyes, Adam Jones, Torii Hunter, Preston Tucker, Josh Reddick, Billy Burns, A.J. Pollock, Kole Calhoun, Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, Justin Maxwell, the Dodgers outfield, the Brewers outfield, the Tigers outfield, Danny Salazar, Jason Hammel, Gerrit Cole, Jaime Garcia, Chris Archer, Shelby Miller, Clay Buchholz and Zack Greinke.
