Episode 59 – The Day of the De La Rosas

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss a bit of a reverse slate, analyzing the Orioles against lefties, Ian Kinsler’s surprisingly cold season, Joey Gallo’s extreme outcomes, attempting to afford Paul Goldschmidt, an especially tough day at shortstop, Yasmany Tomas’ strange progression, evaluating Eury Perez, Luis Valbuena’s transformation, the sound that represents Yonder Alonso, attempting to cover the bases when it comes to price points in numerous DFS formats, and checking in on the weather reports on plenty of day games.

Contest picks for Thursday, June 25: Anthony DeSclafani @ PIT (Dylan) and Chris Heston vs. SD (Matt).

Contest picks for Friday, June 26: Trevor May @ MIL (Dylan) and Chad Bettis @ SF (Matt).

It looks like you aren't yet a FanGraphs Member (or aren't logged in). We aren't mad, just disappointed.
We get it. You want to read this article. But before we let you get back to it, we'd like to point out a few of the good reasons why you should become a Member.
1. Ad Free viewing! We won't bug you with this ad, or any other.
2. Unlimited articles! Non-Members only get to read 10 free articles a month. Members never get cut off.

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.
6. Remove the photos on the home page! (Honestly, this doesn't sound so great to us, but some people wanted it, and we like to give our Members what they want.)
7. Even more Steamer projections! We have handedness, percentile, and context neutral projections available for Members only.
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.
