00:00 Intro
01:12 You have recommended filling by rank because ROI sort will give you the best lineups for each contest with fewer different shots. Is there any data to support which approach leads to more profitability in the long run?
05:42 Is there a way to select Single Entry in Saber Sim?
15:02 How do you go about not leaving gaps in the batting order?
18:16 Would you cut the 10- 20% of your lowest projected lineups in MLB like you told me to do for NBA?
32:18 Does SabeSsim default to not playing pitchers against each other, or is there a setting we have to change?
34:17 What is your process when you see a potential overlay? Do you play just 1 lineup and enter any contests that overlay, or do you try to enter multiple lineups?
36:02 Is there any way to match exposure to the pool? How can we with ownership, or do we have to adjust manually?
