It is Friday and it is July and you are probably wondering … Hey, what happened to the Dongers Club Appreciation Contest for June? Well, nothing. I just pushed it back a week to make it the end of the first half appreciation contest. It will run starting next Tuesday, July 5th for 4 periods each with some light rules attached to them and the total score from your top 3 entries will be used for the overall standings. So check back next Tuesday for contest details and we’ll roll from there. Today we have 15 total games, 11 of which are on the Main slate. There’s one in Wrigley Field today at 2 pm that includes Boston and the Cubs (very nice!) and then three games in the senior citizens circuit which are all looking to be high scoring.

Where as early in the week it feels like many use late night hammer pitchers. Is this because people actually are going out on Friday and don’t want to bother with worrying about a late scratch (something that almost never happens with pitchers) here? I dunno, but I bet you we see Gonsolin around 2-5% owned today. Compared to Burnes/Cole he is facing a worse offense and is at home where opponents are hitting just .208 off him this season. CORBIN BURNES I had Chris Bassit here but he has been scratched. So Burnes should be okay to use on DraftKings but I still believe Gonsolin is the #1 SP on the slate. Pittsburgh’s offense is greatly improved and playing very well of late. They should only strike out around 20% tonight but Burnes can always push that number higher. BRAD KELLER Happy Brad Keller day? Keller does well vs the Tigers and should really carve through the lefties here with his slider today. We’re slightly picking on a team who was on the west coast but more rolling with a cheaper mid range SP who can get you a solid good start for his cheap price tag tonight.
