A nice little start yesterday to get into the second half and it should be just as strong ast the first half. Outside of Baseball, we’ll have some NFL and College Football Content coming out in August slowly building up to those regular seasons but they will not deter at all from the Dongers Club and Baseball since sports in Regular Season mode take priority always over those in pre-season mode.

LAA at ATL: Chance of Thunderstorms [spacer height=”20px”] We go into the first full slate of the second half with some big name pitchers as one would expect given that they’ve been off for 4+ days and team can reset their rotations. MAX SCHERZER While Max isnt’ the prototypical pitcher who can dominate the Padres, he is at home and he still will manage to have a game which produces 7+ strikeouts. It’s 90 with 10 MPH out to center so the chances of Mazara, Cronenworth or Voit taking him deep are good but he will do what Max does. 7 innings, 7+ K and no more than 3 ER. CORBIN BURNES This is the second consecutive start for Burnes in which he is coming off a week+ of rest and last time all he did was throw 115 pitches over 7 1/3 vs San Francisco, striking out 10 and putting up 30+ DK points. While Colorado is a team who I think can do damage this weekend in Milwaukee, they are not opposed to helping out the opposing SP with strikeouts and their best chances to do harm are with Burnes walking guys, which he hasn’t been doing in his recent home starts. KYLE GIBSON One of my second half predictions is that the Phillies make it into the playoffs and Kyle Gibson going on a 4 game winning streak to start the second half is going to be a big reason why. He starts that tonight vs the Cubs who were most definitely enjoying their Summer Break and won’t be ready tonight. SPENCER HOWARD I am going to go ahead and push the GO button on my Rangers second half bets. One of the BUY’s I have on this team is someone I have been dead set against for a long time and…...
