Episode 120 – Expect Some Rustyness

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss Team Entropy, a typical split slate, not having the guts to fade against Clayton Kershaw, a very attractive Mets stack, an almost-as-attractive Marlins stack, Dee Gordon seizing the opportunity to be the stolen-base king this season, being tempted by but hesitating to pick against Johnny Cueto, and Bryce Harper knowing he is going to get hit by a pitch today.

Contest picks for Thursday, September 24: Patrick Corbin @ LAD (Dylan) and Jarred Cosart vs. PHI (Matt).

Contest picks for Friday, September 25: Mike Leake @ OAK (Dylan) and CC Sabathia vs. CWS (Matt).
