The Dongers Club – September 15th

Ten games, no weather issues.

 

Carlos Hernandez

I get that Oakland is a good offense and why I trusted them last night, but there is zero reason for Carlos Hernandez to be $5,300 tonight at home against them.  He has done nothing but pitch well for Kansas City this year, should limit walks, go deep enough into the game (6+ innings) and strikeout 20% of the batters he faces.  The algo is broken here thinking he is a bullpen arm, he is not, and he should be locked into all builds today.

Ranger Suarez

Much like Carlos Hernandez, I will take what our eyes have been seeing recently with this pitcher.  Suarez has been a recent bright spot for Philadelphia with three straight near 20 point DK games and four straight with a strikeout per inning or better.  The Cubbies projected lineup tonight grades as the highest strikeout advantage by pitch type for Suarez.

Also like to pitch well:   Julio Urias (but not much better than the two above) and Huascar Ynoa

 

HOUSTON ASTROS

Jose Altuve, Yordan Alvarez, Yuli Gurriel, Chas McCormick,

Well look what we have here, I’ll be damned.  Is that Kohei Arihara back on the mound for the Texas Rangers??  Well, shoot, you shouldn’t have Texas — and coming off a night when the Rangers gave it to the Astros???  Pfft.  Man, why thank you.  Oh, what’s that???  You are opening the roof tonight too?   Throw in some value with Bregman/Correa sitting and we have ourselves a nice low owned Houston play today.

ATLANTA BRAVES

Jorge Soler – Freddie Freeman – Austin Riley

It still feels weird to type Jorge Soler on Atlanta, but he gets to once again benefit from hitting in front of the guy who is turning on the flames right now to get himself into MVP conversation once again and that would be Mr. Freddie Freeman.  The heart of the Atlanta order is a 3 headed monster that should produce 2 home runs tonight and potentially 8 combined RBI.  A nice 2-8-3 kind of night if I do say so myself.   Shoot, I may even throw in Eddie Rosario who hopefully hits 8th tonight into this to have a real 2-8-3 stack.

LINEUP CONSTRUCTION THOUGHTS

There isn’t a single pitcher going tonight who has a high strike out projection and that tells me right there we just want 6 innings of clean pitched ball tonight from our arms.  I would anchor around two mid range pitchers along with a 4-5 man stack from the Astros or Braves and enjoy the DailyAmbush logo at the top of your contests.
