Yesterday’s results
The BTS leader extended his streak to 32 games by tabbing the sizzling Chipper Jones, who homered in two at-bats vs. the Mets and was the day’s most popular pick at 8.9 percent.
However, the next two fans on the leaderboard fell off due to hitless performances from Derek Jeter and Raul Ibanez.
Chase Utley, the day’s second-most popular pick at 6.2 percent, Placido Polanco, Albert Pujols, Prince Fielder and Miguel Tejada all came through to push the rest of the Top 10 up a couple of spots.
