Relief Pitcher Contest: Cal vs. WaiverWire
Cal and WaiverWire have settled on their first contest. Here are the terms agreed to:
1) There will be 15 Contests on Weekdays for the next 3 weeks, starting today
2) Each Person will pick 4 Relief Pitchers for that day
3) Scoring Categories: Saves Only
4) $20 is wagered each contest
5) $50 is wagered on most total Saves throughout the 15 contests (60 pitchers)
6) Draws are allowed
7) They will submit their picks to me by email each day before the deadline, and I will post them here.
8) Editing Lineups is allowed (via email to me) up until I post both lineups to the forum. (Going to try and be as accurate as possible, barring my schedule). If I do not post in time, editing lineup is allowed and verified via timestamp in my email, and I will post as soon as possible after deadline.
Good luck to both!

Is this a draft or can both of them use the same RP?
Anonymous submission until I post…so they can use same. I’m sure WaiverWire would be open to run another. Here was his initial thread:

Rafael SorianoCool…Wilson and Wagner were the two I liked the most, so I like the match-up.

I wonder if it would be +EV to take both sides of a single game (i.e. Papelbon/Rivera) if it was projected to be a close game.
Interesting challenge, good luck to both of you.

I think there are days when it could make sense.

Buffalo, I’m thinking that would be a good idea when two lights out starters are facing off. What do you think?

Did I mention the rule about getting a point if your reliever strikes out the side, even if he doesn’t get a save?
Kidding.
Looks like a 2-2 tie on day 1. The two pitchers we both had both got saves. None of the others did.

Looks like I also forgot to mention that WINS count as well as saves…well I thought about suggesting that they should count anyway.
Another 2-2 tie. We’re technically tied 4-4 in total saves, and now 0-0 in contests through 2 days.

Scary how similar our picks have been.
The first one listed above is mine, second one is Cal’s.
Not quite as exciting as yesterday where we had opposing closers for the only one that wasn’t in common.

Yea, at least 2 every day. Maybe 5 would have been a better number to choose. How often did you expect their to be duplicate lineups before starting this?

I would have guessed we’d average about 1.5 of the same pitchers each day. We’ll see if it stays as high as it’s been so far.
