WoH for 5-20-19: The Towers at a Crossroad?

It's been a full week since Glu released the first prime player(Yelich), who's max is a 370. Furthermore, we had a 370 prime player(Meadows) who has stackable skills vs rhp in WoH. Things had been moving at a snails pace in terms of max ratings and then suddenly, Glu decided that enough was enough and released primes with a significantly higher max than keepers.
In terms of WoH, it will be interesting to see what Glu does. If they keep the current classic and HoF/DTI difficulty as is, those with Meadows will sleep walk through Thor, who'll resemble goldie locks more so than the his god-like namesake. If they make it more difficult, non-Meadows owners will be heard from ear to ear. And not in a kumbaya way.
As far as rewards, I absolutely love that we continue to get brand new players for WoH. Last year, I felt they made a mistake in making the marquee weekend box player the WoH reward. I realize that guys still bought boxes because they wanted bonus points, but it also discouraged many from otherwise chasing. For example, itt never made sense for me to chase anyone when I knew I'd likely get them from WoH. Personally, I'm really hoping for a righty bat with double vs lhp skills today. I know that goes against this year's pattern, but here's hoping.
Pxp! It was finally made semi-reasonably available last week. And I gotta end it now because rewards were just released!

If you're not having fun, you're losing.

So what's the play here, guys? They went back to 4 modes instead of 3, which I much preferred. I think I'll see what the difference is in difficulty between Classic and All-Star before I decide where to spend most of my time. That Arenado is pretty sweet, but same as with Meadows, I don't feel quite the same draw to acquiring him like I did Yelich last week (being that he was the first prime at 30 overall better than everyone else... and a lefty).
If classic stays as is, that seems to be the most optimal play. I really need pxp so the guaranteed 5k pxp from DTI is valuable for me. My plan is to start out in classic, take Santana to g1. Maybe get another cycle in at classic, then start on DTI because my live boost will be on by then. As much as I need Nolan, I won't be able to cap him so I'll leave him at b1 until I rack up more pxp. By the time I get enough pxp, it should be the weekend and I'll be able to compare him to the weekend box players.
Yep, this seems about as optimal of an approach as one can get here.
I have to wonder how much easier DTI will be today since I've added Yelich and Meadows (I figured out a way to cap both, don't ask, it involved spending nearly all of my 51k gold that I'd saved up though LOL) along with a couple of other minor improvements to the WOH lineup here.
I'll get live boost after an hour or so (switching to TOR) which will give me time to get through classic a couple of times. Then, I think I am going to head straight for DTI while the boost is on and time myself there. If I can do it in an hour or less, I will probably just do that all dang day. An hour or a little more could be reasonable if Meadows is destroying Thor over and over?
This is exactly my plan. If I am able to finish DTI in roughly 1 hour or even a little more, I'll just switch for live boost all day. I'm thinking TOR at 1207, OAK at 510 and then SF at 845.
I think with these 370 guys released, the only way to keep them somewhat towards the pack is the high speed. Otherwise they are even more powerful obviously then they already are. Meadows is the same way
#glitchgate anyone?
I keep reading that xp at Gold is better, but I'm not understanding how -- aren't WOH rewards the same regardless of your level? What am I missing?
Oh yeah! Like, you used to be able to just exit out of the video in achievements and still get credit for watching it. They made sure to fix that, you know, but the drafting a 10% specialty starting pitcher and having them disappear... apparently there's no rush to resolve that one.
