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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Matthew Dewoskin discuss Dylan’s new hobby that makes him a 12-year-old, Matt going to the less-sad zoo in Chicago, picking against Johnny Cueto, the intriguing Ryan Howard in 2015, trying out Brett Wallace, Adrian Beltre always being older than Matt, Matt’s Matt sound, Matt’s dog making a cameo, trying to pick in the battle of Max Scherzer vs. Jose Fernandez, the Yovani Gallardo fallacy, the return of Rich Hill, and Dylan avoiding TV masochism.

Contest picks for Friday, September 18: Andrew Heaney @ MIN (Dylan) and Anthony DeSclafani @ MIL (Matt).

Contest picks for Saturday, September 19: Taylor Jungmann vs. CIN (Dylan) and Erasmo Ramirez @ BAL (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.
