Episode 83 – Not Much Explanation Needed

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss user error, Mark Teixeira’s resurgence, a pitcher-heavy DFS day, Ketel Marte being quickly trusted in center field, the Marlins’ inability to hit lefties, being nervous about Marco Estrada (still), and Eddie Butler being a reason not to be too confident about pitching prospects.

Contest picks for Tuesday, August 4: Jimmy Nelson vs. SD (Dylan) and Chris Bassitt vs. BAL (Matt).

Contest pick for Wednesday, August 5: Erasmo Ramirez @ CWS (Dylan and Matt).
