Bienvenidos a una edición de viernes de The Dongers Club, ya estamos en mayo y, aunque parece que MLB ya lleva 4 meses, en realidad han sido poco más de 4 1/2 semanas. El clima va a mejorar en aproximadamente 3-4 días y espero que los bullpens continúen desgastándose, los bateadores se calienten en todos los ámbitos y los Mets continúen apestando. oh wait…. My bad, I went a little too extreme with the Cinco de Mayo celebration there, didn’t I? Okay, here’s what I said. “Friends dont let friends stack the Pirates, Cardinals.” Got it? Cool. Now on with the show. WEATHER As I mentioned above in Spanish, the weather is going to start warming up soon, just not quite there yet today. Chilly but comfortable conditions everywhere. As is the case on all Friday slates, if a game is going to PPD they would have done it by now get ahead of ticket sales for the weekend doubleheader. All games play. No Coors Field tonight, rejoice! WSH at ARI – Roof Open HOU at SEA – Roof likely Closed CORBIN BURNES A reduced price for Burnes, who has gotten over his little early season hissy-fit start and turned in three starts in his last four with 13+ Swinging Strikes and has done it vs teams much more potent than the San Francisco Giants. In this matchup I have Burnes projected at a 30% strikeout rate and outside of a 2 out double to JD Davis in the bottom of the 2nd he should just cruise right along. Thus, by the time you have finished your potent potables tonight you should be able to remember that you still have an SP1 going and can most definitely take down the tournament you are in today thanks to Burnes. CRISTIAN JAVIER The only guy that could possibly overtake Burnes today is Javier, who every once and a while pulls out a dominant 1 hit, 0 walk, 10 strikeout outing. He dominates RHH and the Mariners basically are rolling with a banged up Julio, a cooling off Kelenic and a bunch of other RHH who aren’t smashing RHP all too well lately. Don’t love Houston much this season, but I think they give the Mariners fits again this weekend and remind them who Daddy is.
