⏱ 20-minute combined playbook · This one is built completely differently than the 4:10: TWO real arms (Sanchez 20.3 proj, Mize 15.7), a 7.8 total, and every Phillies star sitting under 3.5% captain ownership. Pitcher-duel showdowns have their own winning shape — the shark builds from last night prove it — and this playbook is that shape.
The game: 7.8 total — the lowest-scoring environment of the day. PHI implied 4.3, Detroit 3.5. When runs are scarce, DK points concentrate in the two pitchers and whoever hits the game's ONE big swing — which is why the captain seat math here is nothing like a bat-slate.

Behind the paywall: the full captain board with exposures, five flex locks, the Detroit value tier that funds everything, the bats-ninth fade, and the two-arm construction rule that separates this slate from the 4:10. Build in the Showdown Lab — both showdowns are loaded, toggle at the top.
