May Dongers Club Appreciation Contest – Day #2: Click Here to Enter on DraftKings Rules for tonight: Friday, May 27th: Chairman Bonus … If you play the Chairman and he homers, you get 2x his points. If you fade the Chairman and he doesn’t homer, you get 2x the points of the player at the same position (The Chairman will not be an OF) Standings will be updated after tonight so that you know where everyone stands going into next Tuesday’s final round. [spacer height=”20px”] Friday, May 27th … The White Sox and Cubs will play this weekend but someone at MLB headquarters decided they shouldn’t play today — which is absurd. At any rate, we have 13 games tonight with some Tornado warnings coming through the east coast too. Fun times! WEATHER Rockies at Nationals – Rainy/Stormy. Very dicey situation here during the day with Tornado warnings, however if they are after 6pm and haven’t announced a DELAY or PPD then I would imagine they will play despite flying cows and stuff. Guardians at Tigers – Rain and bad baseball. Probably try to get it in. All other games look good to go. [spacer height=”20px”] JUSTIN VERLANDER (DK: $10.5k) Verlander has faced the Mariners twice this season, they’re a young team and he had 8K over 8IP in the first meeting while they got to him a little bit in the second meeting knocking him for a whopping 2 ER and only 3 SO. Today we go back to Verlander dominating the Mariners batters and I really don’t expect anything less than 7 innings and 9 strikeouts. SEAN MANAEA (FD: $9.7k) Manaea has become the trusted depth guy for the Padres. Two of his last 4 starts he has gone over 100 pitches, including 110 against the same Pie-Rats on April 30th. They won’t give you the same strikeout upside that Verlander will have but I do see us getting 7 innings out of the lefty tonight, making him option 1b after Verlander and on FanDuel this is an $1,100 difference JON GRAY (DK: $5,500) One of the more chalky plays tonight will be Shane Bieber, but there is ole Jon Gray at $5.5k vs the pathetic Athletics out in Oakland who I think will be close to him in ownership tonight. Go ahead and ride it though, this isn’t some rookie kid who will get beat up and knocked…...
