We move on to the listener mailbag and answer questions about Rich Hill's success in 2016 (9:10), Albert Pujols' historic career (13:37), and which New York team has a better chance of making the playoffs (17:08). Next we take a look at the waiver wire and talk about whether you should pick up Byron Buxton (21:31), Yasiel Puig (23:19) and Jose De Leon (24:30). We finish by looking at Friday night's DFS slate and Jared gives us his favorite GPP pitchers (26.49), favorite value plays (30:52) and hitters worth their high price tag (32:04).
