Brian Walton from CreativeSports edged out Fantasy Alarm’s Rick Wolf to take down this week’s Tout Daily contest. Razzball’s Rudy Gamble finished in third.
Walton debunked a common DFS myth by using both pitchers in the Phillies-Rockies affair. Aaron Nola outdueled Jonathan Gray for the win, but with bother hurlers fanning ten, the points piled up. Walton got big nights from Joey Votto, Yoan Moncada and Rafael Devers, but it was Cody Bellinger’s late-night heroics supplying his slim 1.6 point margin. Check out Brian’s week-winning roster below.
Brian’s big night propelled him to third in the Period 3 standings with Derek Carty still the leader, 12.35 points ahead of Bret Sayre. Bret is just 1.9 points in front of Brian. Next week should be exciting as it’s the final week of this period and five competitors are with 20 points of third place. Three more Golden Tickets to the Tout Daily Survivor Tournament Finals will be awarded after next week’s action.
Todd Zola remains the overall points leader in quest of a wild card entry into the finals. However, The Wolfman’s second place finish this week vaulted him into second overall, cutting Zola’s lead to a precarious 15.8 points. Clay Link dropped to third overall. Here’s the Leaderboard.
