Off to the semis in my league. Got Carrasco twice this week which is nice, but he has a career ERA over 5 against the White Sox......

I need playoffs in my deep dynasty league, nobody'd ever beat the top team in our 16-teamer if it was roto. Of course being the #2 seed more than a hundred games over .500 (it's a 20-category per week league) I'm well on the way to being bounced by a .500 #7 seed
OTOH I hate head to head in hockey cause there are so many variables - how many games your goalies play, whether Crosby plays 4 games or 2 in a given week. At least with baseball and football it's generally fair in terms of everyone playing the same amount in a given week.

lol honestly I don't know that there's too many superfluous ones offensively (AB, R, HR, XBH, RBI, BB, K, SB, Avg, Slug). Well I guess at bats is kind of lame - though it sort of matches IP on pitching - and you might not need both XBH and Slugging percentage.
But pitchingwise I'm okay with the ten for the most part - IP, BB, K, QS, W, SV, HD, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, maybe having BB, K AND BB/K ratio is a bit repetitive though fewer walks generally rewards fewer innings while it's the opposite with K's, and K/BB rewards a good ratio. But I think it's set up so you can't really game the system by going with too many relievers or too many starters.

Double-Shift Lasse
Just post better
I'd like to thank Wil Myers, Ian Kinsler, Madison Bumgarner, and Marco Estrada for going ice cold at just the right time, for power outages from Francisco Lindor and Mookie Betts and for the implosion of all of my middling relievers for turning in a quality regular season... I guess.
It's like they all saw Kershaw go on the DL and shut it down for the season, with his return too late to stop a late-season swoon and first-round exit.
My keeper situation looks good though.

I got offered Brian Dozier for my Alex Reyes in a dynasty right before the start of July. I declined. I just missed the playoffs in that league...

I've gotten -3 points from my 4 pitcher starts this week against 47 for my opponent in 3 starts. Still up 20 going into today's games.
My Kennedy plays his Sale today, and my Carrasco plays his Verlander tomorrow. Should be fun/scary af.

Been doing it all season with pitching. Outside of Syndergaard my staff is horrible.

Up 47 my friendWell, you probably lost.
The guy's hitters have been as bad as my pitching. Juan Nicasio got me a sweet W today though while Granderson and Bogaerts did their thing. Just gotta hope Kyle Gibson doesn't pull another gem out of his ass tomorrow.

Wow.
Considering how well Verlander pitched, and I'm not sure if you get points for a complete game... that, combined with Carrasco only facing one batter, I thought you'd be losing.

OPS could easily flip, and you'd have the tiebreaker due to our regular season head to head.

Yeah I think it speaks to how good my hitters have been compared to how useless his have been. He got 45 from Sale yesterday and -9 from Kelvin Herrera, then 23 from Verlander and 18 from Miller today. Been able to strengthen my lead both days.
The finals without Carrasco though....

I prefer roto for every sport except football, but almost everyone else likes H2H.

I like it if everyone is close, but it's often not the case. Once you're out in roto, you're really out. Which can lead to alot of inactive owners. In h2h you can atleast entertain the thought of a comeback.
