⏱ 20-minute combined playbook · The nightcap is a REMATCH — Arizona jumped this same Dodgers team 9-3 last night, and the seat that won the contest was the 11%-owned ARI arm. Tonight the field re-adjusts back to LA (5.5 implied behind Yamamoto), which sets up the day's most interesting captain math: the highest bat ceiling of the entire day sitting at 5.5% ownership.
The game: 9.1 total, lopsided — LAD 5.5 implied, ARI 3.6 against Yamamoto. And one structural quirk that changes construction completely: there are no punt bats on this slate. The cheapest useful hitters start in the mid-$4Ks and the only $4,000 fills are relievers who project ~2 points. Every seat costs real money — which makes the captain choice worth MORE here than on any other slate today.
