Field of Streams: Episode 123 – Moose vs. Shark

by Dylan Higgins
September 29, 2015

Episode 123 – Moose vs. Shark

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

In this episode, Dylan Higgins and Brad Johnson discuss handling a very rainy slate, a couple Escobars, being frustrated by a continual lack of options at shortstop, Christian Bergman’s splits, Brad’s ill-timed defense of Jonathan Papelbon, identifying Jorge Lopez, trying to trust Johnny Cueto, avoiding the matchup of Clayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner, and bad DFS analysis to avoid.

Contest picks for Tuesday, September 29: Robbie Ray vs. COL (Dylan) and Nick Tropeano vs. OAK (Matt).

Contest pick for Wednesday, September 30: Drew Smyly vs. MIA (Dylan and Matt).

Suggested DFS picks worth attention for Tuesday, September 29: J.T. Realmuto, J.P. Arencibia, Welington Castillo, Evan Gattis, Kyle Schwarber, Clint Robinson, Eric Hosmer, Paul Goldschmidt, Lucas Duda, Justin Smoak, Daniel Murphy, Evan Longoria, Adrian Beltre, Mike Moustakas, Nolan Arenado, Kyle Seager, Francisco Lindor, Elvis Andrus, Brad Miller, Carlos Correa, Jed Lowrie, Eduardo Escobar, Asdrubal Cabrera, the Mets outfield, Bryce Harper, Marcell Ozuna, J.D. Martinez, the D-backs outfield, George Springer, Mike Trout, the Yankees outfield, Matt Moore, Cole Hamels, Johnny Cueto, Robbie Ray, Mike Fiers, Tyson Ross, and Clayton Kershaw.
