Episode 64 – Giant Shrug Face

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss a post-recording edit, Brad’s upcoming vacation, Cleveland’s success against lefties, another undeniable stack in Toronto, considering punting first base in a small early slate, finding the right ace in the small early slate, struggling to pronounce names you’ve never heard before, the nature of giving DFS advice, Brad attending the matchup of the century in Philadelphia, Dylan getting confused by park elevations, the extreme scenario of trying to afford Max Scherzer, the equally extreme scenario of starting Matt Boyd, and Brad starting some mid-season redraft leagues.

Contest picks for Thursday, July 2: Roenis Elias @ OAK (Dylan) and Matt Moore vs. CLE (Matt).

Contest picks for Friday, July 3: J.A. Happ @ OAK (Dylan) and Chase Anderson vs. COL (Matt).
