The Dongers Club – July 26th

Main (7PM): Mets/Yankees, Braves/Red Sox, Cubs/White Sox, Rangers/Astros, Athletics/Giants

 

WEATHER

All clear, with very warm temps in Boston, Chicago and NY.

 

  1. Spencer Strider … is not going to give you a 4x return at a 12.7k price on DraftKings.  Heck, he will be lucky to do 2x, but just like I tell my wife, 2 minutes seconds is better than 0 minutes, am I right?
  2. Hogan Harris … I am still convinced that there is no chance this guys name is really Hogan Harris, nor do I believe he will be around to be of DFS note in 2-3 years either.  But tonight he’s winning someone 50k simply because the SP options are terrible and he will get you 13 DK fpts against a bad Giants lineup.
  3. Alex Wood … This is the PLR tonight for San Francisco, very worthy of consideration simply because Oakland is Oakland.

 

FAVORITE CORES …

WHITE SOX – Eloy

The model has Marcus Stroman ranked number one and no thank you model.  I realize he shouldn’t give up much power to a RH heavy White Sox lineup but he will tonight in my mind as the Sox get their revenge in another high scoring game.

METS – Lindor

The Mets should also pummel Carlos Rodon, but they’re the Mets and have not hit LHP extremely well.  This is another spot to buy into Francisco Lindor who had a huge game without the HR last night — he should fix that today.  Lindor and Pham pair up extremely well from the Mets.

ASTROS – Altuve/Yordan

We have the return of Altuve and Yordan for Houston, a MAJOR boost and enough for me to not touch Heaney as well..  On FanDuel play both 2B in this game because Semien should take Framber yardwork today.
