The Dongers Club – June 10th

The DK main slate is locking at 1PM and runs through the 4PM window of games, which totals 11 games but does not include the 6PM Houston vs Cleveland game.

FD main slate includes 4PM through 10PM, which is 7 games total.  FanDuel early is the 1PM window of games.

This will be the only article and it will cover the DraftKings slate.

 

WEATHER

Padres at Rockies – Coors Field:  Some showers coming through here during the gametime window.  Could cause a delay or two, but the game will finish barring a water mane break or something like that.

Dodgers at Phillies – CBP:  Ball should jump here today.

Royals at Orioles – OPACY:  Same here.

Rangers at Rays – COSTCO:  Free snacks today down at the Tropicana Costco Warehouse.

 

TOP ARM(s)

Sandy Alcantara (DK: $9500)

I still believe in Sandy who appears to be pitching poorly (because he kinda is) but still has very good stuff and is still an Ace.  The walks have gone up somewhat, but last start it was back to normal and just had some struggles with a lowly Athletics team.  I don’t see him struggling again with this White Sox lineup.

 

SP2 CANDIDATES

Johan Oviedo (DK: $7500)

Mets are without Pete Alonso (obviously) and just not great offensively of late versus RHP hitting .238 with a 30% strikeout rate over the last week.  Lots of risk here certainly with Oviedo, but it’s a dicey slate overall for pitching, so trying to find someone under 8k for my SP2.

RYNE NELSON (DK: $5400)

Best among the cheap options.  I would suspect we see ownership going to Andrew Abbott in his second start, but I would rather pick on Detroit than even the lowly Cardinals.

 

OTHER PITCHING NOTES

MacKenzie Gore and Michael Kopech have the best strikeout upside among the other pitchers going today not named Nate Eovaldi (expensive vs a good Rays team).

 

ORIOLES

Rutschman, Santander, Urias

Anthony Santander should break out of his slump in a big way vs Singer.

DIAMONDBACKS

Walker, Longoria, Marte

Zona is great vs LHP and The Tigers bullpen has come crashing down to earth.

DODGERS

Mookie, Freeman, Outman

Hey Look!  Freddie Freeman is up to $6,000 as he continues his NL player of the week campaign.  Dodgers should make life miserable for Nola today.
