After a week’s hiatus due to the All-Star break, the Touts were back at it on Tuesday in FanDuel’s double-up Tout Challenge. Five Touts finished in the top ten led by the night’s second high scorer, Baseball HQ’s Ray Murphy. Joining Ray in the top-ten was Jake Ciely, Jeff Erickson, Andrea LaMont and Brian Walton. Of the 24 Touts that entered, half finished in the top 45 of the field of 100.
Huge nights from Kyle Schwarber and Shin-Soo Choo paced Ray’s squad, scoring a whopping 16.25 and 17.75 points respectively. Michael Wacha wasn’t as sharp as usual but he made it through five frames, fanning eight and getting the all-important win which also contributed to Ray’s outstanding night. The rest of Ray’s lineup is posted below.
This is the last week of the fourth period of Tout Daily which means when Friday night’s action comes to a close, three more tickets into the Tout Daily Championship will be awarded. None other than Ray Murphy is the leader after the first three weeks, holding a commanding 10.25 point lead over the Godfather of Fantasy Sports, Charlie Wiegert. My Mastersball colleague Brian Walton currently holds down the third spot with a very slim .27 points lead over yours truly. The entire Tout Daily standings can be found here.
Be sure to check back Friday, aces will be wild on the hill which should lead to an exciting Tout Challenge sweat as three more seats in the Tout Daily Championship are decided.
