⏱ 20-minute combined playbook · ✅ LINEUPS CONFIRMED — numbers and exposures updated to the final pull. The first showdown of the day is really one question: what do you do about Freddy Peralta? The only true arm on the slate projects nearly DOUBLE any bat, the field knows it (projected ~34% captain-owned), and the whole contest bends around that seat. My 5 captains with full reasoning, 5 flex locks, exposure levels for a 35-48 entry sharp field, and the value board — no cookie-cutter builds, you assemble it.
The game: 8.8 total, and it's lopsided — NYM implied at 4.8, Boston at 3.9 against Peralta. That gap is the slate: Mets bats own six of the top eight projections, the Boston side is priced like it scores four, and the one place the field agrees (Peralta) is also the one place everyone's entry looks identical.
