Andrea LaMont is in the lead, but not by much. The Touts are getting their Period 4 Week 2 entries in for the 2017 Tout Daily championship. Here is the leaderboard.
Some are sharing their picks with us.
PHIL HERTZ
James Paxton at home and Bryce Harper at GAB.
JEFF BOGGIS
Top Hitter – Matt Carpenter (1B-$3,800) St. Louis Cardinals at Pittsburgh Pirates
Top Pitcher – Jacob deGrom (SP-$11,800) New York Mets vs. Colorado Rockies
LAWR MICHAELS
Jacob Faria ($8200): Crapshoot on the next Tampa future ace facing the Angels, who do indeed like to swing the bats. Faria has 37 whiffs over 38.1 frames.
Whit Merrifield ($4300): It has taken a bit for Merrifield to own second, but he has 13 hits over his last ten games and goes up against Southpaw Martin Perez for the day.
CHARLIE WIEGERT
Jose Berrios ($7,300 at HOU): I’ll go with the contrarian play against the hot offense to try winning a tournament format.
Avisail Garcia ($3,500 vs. SEA): Similar theme here. Not many people will pick against James Paxton, but I’ll roll with Garcia, who holds a .427 wOBA against southpaws during his breakout year.
GENE McCAFFREY
Pitcher – No such thing as a sure thing but Jacob deGrom at home is always a good bet.
Hitter – It’s about time for Robinson Cano to start feasting; James Shields should provide the meatballs.
