When the dust cleared it was Lenny Melnick atop the heap in the Tout Daily by Fanduel, Phase 2 Week 3 contest, well ahead of Lawr Michaels. Michaels, however, remains the leader in Phase 2, with one week remaining. The top 3 teams in each Phase earn a ticket to the August 28 Championship week, in which $2,000 of prizes will go to the top 5 finishers.
Melnick, of course, had the week’s top pitcher, Gerrit Cole, as well as Kendrys Morales’s (owned by 2.4 percent of teams) surprisingly huge week (15.75 points). He also had Evan Longoria and AJ Pollock, which was enough to give him a nine point win.
Michaels also had Longoria, as well as the week’s second most favorited pitcher, Max Scherzer, and solid contributions from Logan Morrison and Steve Souza, plus across the board goodness. Only Brad Miller failed to contribute to his team.
