Welcome to another episode of the FantaysPros Baseball Podcast. The show is hosted by our own Bobby Sylvester. He’ll be interviewing featured experts and team correspondents who will provide insight throughout the baseball season.

Justin MacMahan (@JustinMacMahan) of Daily Fantasy Insider joins us to discuss some news of the week, DFS plays for Friday, and advice for those of you in the fantasy playoffs. We begin by covering Neil Walker’s season ending injury (4:07), Gary Sanchez’s hot start (6:11), Dustin Pedroia’s recent explosion at the plate (10:05), and the Cubs continued dominance over the National League (12:07). Moving on, Justin gives us his best daily fantasy plays for Friday, including his top cash game pitcher (13:41), his top GPP pitcher (15:31), why he likes Phillies hitters at their current price (16:35), his favorite middle tier bats (21:26), and position players worth paying a high price on Friday night (22:01). We continue by answering listener mailbag questions that include inquiries on how to manage a head to head pitching staff in the playoffs (24:36), how Corey Seager’s hot start compares to other elite young talent (26:51), is Joey Votto the best hitter in baseball (28:54), and if there are any September call-ups worth adding to your roster for the fantasy playoffs (31:02). We take a look a some players worth grabbing off the waiver wire, including Yoan Moncada (32:52), Corey Dickerson (34:59), Ivan Nova (35:59), and Luke Weaver (37:06). Our discussion is wrapped up by a quick fantasy football digression where Justin gives us two sleepers he likes for the upcoming fantasy football season (40:30).
