The Cycle: 1st Half Check-In, Home Run Derby Draft, All-Star Game Takes (Ep. 863)
In this episode of The Cycle, Worm and Maher kick things off with a look at Drew Thorpe and Tobias Myers. We answer a burning listener question: Are you Team Thorpe or Team Christian Scott? We then move on to provide an update on Zack Wheeler’s injury and discuss whether we made a mistake by not including Justin Steele in last week’s ace conversation. As the MLB All-Star Game approaches, we share our thoughts and expectations.In our “Buy Low, Sell High” segment, we highlight our favorite picks from this week’s featured pros article. Maher is eyeing Bo Bichette as a great buy-low candidate, while Worm suggests Bobby Miller for dynasty leagues.With no two-start pitchers next week, the guys go head-to-head in a Home Run Derby Draft.As always, the best free way to show your support and encourage more content like this is to leave a positive review at fantasypros.com/mlbreview/.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
