The Dongers Club – April 12th

This slate is proof that DraftKings and FanDuel can include the 6pm window games and not lose money.  I don’t think they will do this going forward, but it’s nice to see.

WEATHER

  • OAK at BAL:  16 mph wind out to RF

 

Some great arms on this night slate, very different than the day slate.

Spencer Strider

DK:  $9300, FD:  $10900

This is very simple.  You take Strider at home against the Reds or you fade and leverage stack with Spencer Steer, TJ Friedl and Jake Fraley.  But why in the f’n world would you do that.  Please, do not do that.  Lock in Strider, take him at high ownership and move on.

Chris Sale

DK:  $7400, FD: $7800

The Rays lose their first game today and they do it at the hands of Chris Sale.  He gets the comforting environment of Tropicana Field and gets to avoid Brandon Lowe who likely sits tonight.  Throwback Sale game tonight friends.

Hunter Greene

DK:  $6900, FD: $8000

There’s another throw back veteran in Clayton Kershaw who will pitch well, but you have a massive salary savings on both sites with Hunter Greene and I see no reason he doesn’t match Strider in strikeouts tonight.

 

 

Blue Jays

Vlad Jr, Varsho, Chapman

Bichette, check.  Kiermeier, check.  Tonight the Varsho homer comes off the bullpen and Vladdy might hit 3 out.
