Episode notes
Double Up On Aces To Dominate Pitching Categories
- Taking two top starting pitchers early can let you ignore pitching until later by locking ERA, WHIP and strikeouts.
- Scott used that 'pocket aces' approach but warned it raises variance if one falters.

- When evaluating injury-prone but high-skill pitchers, compare innings history beyond MLB totals.
- Chris noted Cole Reagans threw 120+ total innings three of four seasons including minors, so his skills can translate if healthy.
