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).
