The Sleeper and the Bust Episode: 1541 – NFBC Postseason Contest Preview

Let's get back to you, though, Joe, and start talking about this contest here.

So who did carry you then? You mentioned that your boys, by the end of the year, had you there.

But was there anybody that... you're really looking at, I picked them early.

I got those first off, explain the multipliers and then who carried you to really take you to that spot where you could win it at the end.

So yeah, if you have a player in the division series, the player moves on to the championship series and, If you do keep that player into the championship series, they are up times two in your lineup.

Now, I believe you don't have to keep them in your lineup if you feel that they are not the best option.

But with the multiplier, 99 times out of 100, you're going to

create some interesting choices to maybe not.

But you'd have to have a pretty damn good reason not to.

If they move on then to the World Series and you've had them in your lineup for the entirety of the contest, then they are multiplied by three in the World Series.

So I mentioned this before we started recording.

Last year, it felt a little bit easier to map out.

This guy is not going to have this many plate appearances in this round.

But next round, he looks like a good target because these are the pitching matchups.

It feels like the pitching matchups are complete chaos right now where we don't really know who's going to pitch on any given day.

And looking back to last year, the Jays had a pretty set playoff rotation.

The Dodgers did.

The Yankees did.

The Mariners did.

Probably forgetting a couple teams, but it felt like we had some.

The Tigers.

The Tigers.

You pretty much knew who was going out there.

They had

like a bullpen day, and then it was going to be Scooble.
