There was nothing more taxing for the Touts this week than taking on Tout Daily Week 1 winner Brian Walton, and losing again.
Walton built his team around the day’s most selected pitcher, Clayton Kershaw, and one of the day’s popular (at least among high-ranking teams) hitting picks, Mark Trumbo, boosted him.
It was the offbeat stars of the day, however, namely Jonathan Schoop and Kiki Hernandez, who put him over the top.
A big day from Jonathan Villar, taken on only 4 percent of teams, was the difference maker.
Another owner of Villar on the day was Patrick Mayo, who finished second in Week 2 of the four-week first period.
The Patrick Mayo Experience had finished third in Week 1 of the contest.
This week he loaded up on two of the best performing pitchers, got a big game out of Ryan Braun, and went with Stephen Vogt as his backstop, to good effect.
He also shared popular pick Adonis Garcia with Walton.
With their top-notch performances in the first two weeks, Walton and Mayo are way out in front of the rest of the pack in the four-week contest.
