Inspired by Daulton Varsho, Jeff Erickson and Fred Zinkie review which players are better in real life than fantasy, and which players are better in fantasy in real life, and try to find some underlying trends.---00:00 - Fred Pod 9-201:00 - Daulton Varsho comment from Sunday night. 02:15 - Varsho isn’t a good real-life hitter, but he’s been decent for fantasy this year ($8) and hit .281 with 18 runs and four homers in August.04:50 - Players who were better in real life than fantasy this year.05:00 - Bryce Harper. 11th in OPS but just a $22 player. He will hit 30 homers, but without many steals and his batting average is more good than great.10:00 - Freddie Freeman. 14th in OPS but a $20 player. He may not reach 25 homers or 10 steals. Hitting .285, which is fine but not special.17:00 - Riley Greene. 20th in OPS. But hitting .259 with 20 homers and 4 steals. Missed a bit of time, but his R/RBI aren’t great either. An $11 player.22:15 - Popular opinion is that J.D. Martinez has been very good for the Mets. It’s true. He has a .777 OPS. But he has generated just $4 in fantasy. Just 16 HR, 0 SB, 108 R+RBI.29:00 - Orioles talk - Jackson Holliday, Coby Mayo32:00 - Better in fantasy than real life.32:20 - Maikel Garcia is second last in OPS. Has generated $17 in fantasy. The 33 steals and 83 runs scored are pretty awesome. 35:15 - Jacob Young is a poor man’s version of Garcia. Eighth worst OPS but a $9 player thanks to hitting .258 with 31 steals and 69 runs. He’s one of baseball’s worst hitters but is helping fantasy teams in 3/5 categories.38:35 - Zack Gelof has the 4th worst OBP of any qualified player. He also has 16 HR and 20 SB. A $4 player so far.42:30 - Christopher Morel is batting .196 while somehow generating $3 in fantasy value. That’s what 21 homers and 8 steals will do for you.44:25 - Brice Turang has sunk to 13th worst in OPS but has generated $18 in fantasy production thanks to seven homers and 40 steals. Almost as valuable as Freeman.46:15: - Firing up Julio Rodriguez, who’s next?47:00: - Alexis Diaz52:25 - Good News for the Padres: Yu Darvish may return Wednesday; Joe Musgrove had a great start against the Tigers; Tatis is back.---Pick6Download the new DraftKings Pick Six app and use code RWPICKS.

Julio Rodriguez was a top-5 picks in most drafts, but he's currently a bad hitter on a bad offense playing on a bad ankle, meaning that he won't give you stolen bases. Is he perhaps a drop for 2024? Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson explore that question and hone in on some second-half trends.---00:00 - Fred Pod 08-2700:45 - Fred: I heard you and Scott talking about Julio Rodriguez. Can Julio be a 1st round 2025 pick and someone who you should drop right now? Lousy hitter, lousy offense, no base stealing with his ankle.06:00 - Could J-Rod get shut down?09:00 - Walker Buehler drop?09:30 - Map out ahead of time12:00 - Any injury cut, like Robbie Ray13:30 - Kyle Tucker sprinting!14:30 - Pick up more hot hands? Maybe just better matchups.16:50 - Don’t cut Luis Robert23:45 - Sometimes using season-long stats is better. Bigger sample size. But sometimes it isn’t, because teams change during the season. Here are some second half team stats that listeners may find interesting. After all, if we are going to stream down the stretch, we need to know what each team looks like right now.25:45 - Houston is 24th in runs scored. Cleveland is 20th Boston is 3rd. 30:45 - KC is 2nd.35:40 - Diamondbacks lead MLB in runs scored38:00 - The Rays are 29th in runs scored but first in steals! 40:00 - Tampa is first in ERA. Detroit is 6th. Oakland is 10th. Boston is 29th. Baltimore is 23rd.44:15 - Meanwhile, not only as the Astros and Braves not scoring, but they are also have the bottom of the league in steals. After being among the leaders in first half steals, the Brewers are mid-pack in the second half. The Giants are the opposite – last in the first half but mid-pack in the second half. ---Pick6Download the new DraftKings Pick Six app and use code RWPICKS.
