Tout Daily Wrap-up: Carty grinds his way to the top

Defending Tout Daily champion from Rotogrinders channeled Simple Minds, “Don’t you, forget about me” Tuesday night, crushing the field to take the lead halfway through Period 3 of Tout Daily. Carty’s mind is anything but simple as he’s the gray matter behind his MLB ad DFS projected system, appropriately called “The Bat.”

Second place was a dead heat between podcast host extraordinaires, Derek VanRiper from Rotowire and Patrick Davitt from BaseballHQ. VanRiper and Davitt overlapped with Max Scherzer and Jackie Bradley Jr., the other eight players were unique to each roster, yet still totaled exactly 125.45 points each.

Carty’s impressive 151.65 score was spurred by Max Scherzer’s 41 point effort. Jason Vargas only contributed 11.65 points, however his low salary allowed Carty to pay up for outfielders, where he crushed it with Khris Davis and J.D. Martinez, along with Andrew Benintendi. Check out Derek’s complete lineup below.

Following Carty in the quest for the three Golden Tickets on the line this period are VanRiper and USAToday’s Steve Gardner. Just 2.85 points separate the Dereks, with several still within shouting distance.

Todd Zola, Clay Link and Rick Wolf continue to hold down the top three overall points spots, with the overall leader after 20 weeks earning a wild card entry into the Tout Daily Survivor Finals.
