#TOUTDAILY May 15, 2015 Winner Is Chris Liss!

A snafu tangled the results of Tout Daily last night, when nine non touts were invited to play by mistake. Three of them finished in the Top 10, making a shambles of the official winnings screen. Here are the official results, with point totals and weekly winnings.

10.(t) Andrea LaMont 38.5 $12
Brian Walton 38.5 $12
8. Andy Behrens 38.75 $18
7. Scott Swanay 39.66 $18
6. Patrick Mayo 40.25 $24
5. Steve Moyer 40.91 $30
4. Gene McCaffrey 44.75 $36
3. Stephania Bell 49.16 $42
2. Seth Trachtman 51.5 $48
1. Chris Liss 54.91 $60

Liss started with the expensive and popular Clayton Kershaw, who had an off outing but still produced 17.66 points, supplementing with the Belt Brothers, Brandon and Adrian (Belt)re. Good production from the Giants’ stack, including Buster Posey and Joe Panik, was the difference maker, especially since Adrian Beltre was owned by more than 50 percent of FanDuel teams. More than a third also rostered Posey.

Seth Trachtman, second place finisher, started with Madison Bumgarner, who didn’t strike out many Reds but shut them down while his teammates ran up their big score. Trachtman also rostered Posey, but his team was otherwise powered by less-owned players, like Bryce Harper (14%), JJ Hardy (2%), Justin Turner (2%) and David DeJesus (2%). It seems there are any number of ways to compile a competitive team.

After two weeks of Phase 2, the overall Leaderboard shows Lawr Michaels in the lead, with Stephania Bell in second and Liss in third.

The top three finishers in each of the five phases will win a ticket to the Tout Daily By Fanduel final on August 28th, when fifteen entries will compete for $2,000 in prizes.

The Phase 1 winners were Scott Pianowski, Adam Ronis and Jeff Erickson.
