This was the big week I needed! My whole team played really well and I feel like if this were a full season, my team would be in the top three by the end. Unfortunately, in a short season like this, one or two bad weeks can almost ruin your year. Also, huge shoutout to Bryce Harper, who did not have a great week, but stole three bases. Two of them on Sunday (I am guessing he stole second & third, but I am not sure).
Around the League
Ryan 9 Dustin 2
James 10 Gideon 2
Adam2 10 Pat 2
Jason 8 Sean 4
James and Adam2 are on a roll, Ryan is sneakily one of the best teams and most of us probably did not even notice it. I think the matchup between Jason & Sean had the best possible outcome for me, minus that 1-1 tie.
Fantasy Player of the Week
Marcell Ozuna was the best player this week and he probably helped me win all on his own. He crushed five home runs, knocked in thirteen, scored eight times, all while hitting .464 with a .531 OBP. Not too bad for a guy I drafted in the 9th round this year.
The New Week
Who cares about any other matchup. The only thing that matters is me versus Sean. Right now he is in 4th place and is only 1.5 games ahead of me. The winner of this week will end up with the 4th seed in the playoffs (unless for some reason we would tie or have a very close 6-5 match, and Jason ends up destroying Adam2, which is unlikely). Looking at it by players, we seem to be fairly evenly matched. It all depends on who is hot this week and who is not. And if Bryce can continue to steal bases that would be a huge bonus.
