- Since claiming the lead on the 13th, Pavli has been mired in a four day slump that continued with Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 3 strikeout blank against the Athletics.
- Ryan's rough run hit three days after Ozzie Albies went hitless for the Braves on Sunday Night Baseball versus the Padres.
- Inversely, Scott's hitting streak is now at five days to the good after a pair of singles from Rafael Devers. However, seeing how none of those balls left the yard his use of his April Home Run Hero was for naught.
- Also coming up empty with the HRH was Buddy who himself only got one single from the Guardians' Jose Ramirez in his club's drubbing at the hands of the Giants.
- Joseph kept it in the AL West for the second straight day but unlike the day prior got nothing but a smug grin from the blanking Alex Bregman.
- Furthering the congestion on the leaderboard was Al who moved into a tie for third, since there is also a tie for first, with a pair of base knocks from newly acquired Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk.
- There were two pairs of teammates selected on the day with vastly different results. Travis Jankowski (Lenny) and Jeff McNeil (Colin) may have been on the winning side of a shutout for the Mets, but they themselves were shut out in the Pick One with no hits in a combined four at-bats.
- The other pair representing the Chicago Cubs tied for the day's top score. Seiya Suzuki (Nate) homered for the fourth time in the young campaign against Colorado while Nick Madrigal (Matt) reached the same four total base threshold with a pair of singles and a double in the win. The haul from Cubbies puts our NBA Pick One leader Matt in a tie for first place in the MLB Challenge and pulls Nate out of last place by three total bases.
- Optimally, Bryce Harper's three-hit day in their loss to the Marlins, including a home run and a double, would have netted you seven total bases.
