Finals this week in dynasty H2H 5x5 and Salvy finally went down. B. Naylor, Garver or Rogers as a replacement? Thanks Justin.

Justin Mason

10:03

I think I roll with Garver here.

Tim

Thank you for all your help this season! I am in a 14t H2H dynasty and can add a minor league prospect for the future and have the apparent best options ranked as: Horton, Whisenhunt, Iriarte....any of them you'd like as a stash? I've seen mixed reviews on each

Justin Mason

10:04

Horton is a dude. I am grabbing him for sure.

Guest

would you do any streaming in 12T roto if tied with 2 people in QS but <0.15 ERA from losing 4 points?

Justin Mason

10:05

Really depends on the options. I am in a similar spot in some leagues and have gone reliever heavy just because there aren't great options. I play it pretty safe if I am protecting ratios.

Why not Zoidberg?

10:05

Have HR, RBI, SV, ERA, and WHIP pretty locked if I change nothing but need 6 cats to win it all because my opponent takes ties. Close in all other cats but Ks which I know I’m not winning. Got a little lucky with a reliever focused strategy last week and I’m up 3 wins. Smarter play to keep it reliever heavy, keep the cats I have locked and cross my fingers I pull 1 of the remaining 4 cats, or put in some extra starters this week risking my ERA/WHIP against my low innings totals and give myself a better chance at Wins? Opponent has 9 starts by some very good pitchers in his lineup this week (Woodruff, Cole, Burnes, Peralta, Steele, Montgomery…). I could put in Skubal (almost certain to), Garrett, Pepiot, Wicks, and/or Webb. 1.73 vs 4.89 ERA, .826 vs 1.30 WHIP.

Justin Mason

10:06

Feels like you have a pretty good cushion in the ratios to chase more wins. I think I would all those starters if I had to choose in a weekly format.

Adenolith

10:06

Any concern starting Acuna in a weekly H2H championship? No clue what his injury is or how it's going.

Justin Mason

10:06

I don't know how you sit him but he is most likely going to get some time off with the Braves having things wrapped up.

Farmer Ted (not a farmer)

10:07

Thanks for the chats this season. Who would you start this week - pick two: Bassitt @ Rays, Keller @ Cubs, Lugo v. Rockies in SD?

Justin Mason

10:07

Bassitt and Keller

Adenolith

10:07

Week 2 of a H2H matchup. Have HR (+10) and RBIs (+24) more or less locked. Trying to lock down R (+6), SB (-1), or AVG (-.007). Would you replace Muncy or JD Martinez with Willi Castro, Tommy Pham, or Andres Gimenez?

Justin Mason

10:08

I could see doing Muncy for Gimenez. Cleveland has a pretty nice set up versus mostly bad pitching.

Kate

10:08

So uh could Sawyer gipson-long be something in 2024? Maybe a top 50 sp? I know it's only a couple starts against crappy lineups, but two swing and miss secondaries, good command, and two decent fastballs in a good pitchers park. The tools are there right?

Justin Mason

10:09

We just talked about him on The Sleeper and the Bust pod this morning. I am pretty into him. I don't know if I will have him top 50, but I think he could be in that conversation at some point. Full arsenal with great command in a good park and division.

B'ryce Hammer

Won my H2H home league championship yesterday. Kinda bummed it's all over!

Justin Mason

10:09

Congrats!!!

Gameface

Grossman or Wallner this eeek?

Justin Mason

10:09

Wallner

Guest

Thoughts on Gavin Williams? He's been up and down and seems to have a problem with walks. His last start, he looked pretty good against the Rangers though. Don't love the BAL matchup, but DET could be nice.

Justin Mason

10:10

I am rolling with him. I love the stuff and while the Baltimore matchup is tough, the Detroit makes it worth it for me.

Hank

10:10

With Perez, going on the concussion IL, do you like Moreno even though only 5 Dbacks games and a tough hitting schedule or Campusano, who finally seems healthy and getting a nice chance?

Justin Mason

10:10

I would roll with Campy unless I needed batting average protection.

Gameface

10:11

Blackburn or Butto for the two-step? Thanks again, Justin.

Justin Mason

10:11

Butto.

Gah

10:11

So much for protecting my ratios by sitting Webb @ Coors...

Justin Mason

10:11

I was really shocked about that. I sat him in a league too. Process over results sometimes, but I know it stings.

10:11

Stash Yelich, or move on from him?

Justin Mason

10:12

Stash

Drop K Marte for Julien or J Polanco? Last week HTH daily

Justin Mason

10:12

I am rolling with Marte.

Let's Go

10:12

Thanks for doing these all sseason! In a shallow H2H category league that includes 5+H,K,BB. What do with guys like Santander and Bichette. Are they droppable? Should they be benched over guys like Evan Carter and Mark Canha? Santander had a 75% K rate last week

Justin Mason

10:13

I don't mind moving on from Santander for a guy like Canha who has just been a hit machine. I can't drop Bichette

Jazz, Gleber or Muncy Weekly categories

How do you feel about Keaton Winn heading into next year? Stuff+ loves him, but he has a bizarre pitch mix.
