Sunday, Dongers Club – May 26th

A light Sunday slate (7 games on DraftKings) thanks to the Dodgers/Reds being moved up to 12:10 and the Blue Jays/Tigers playing at 11:30 this morning.  FanDuel has included Ranger Suarez (Phillies) vs Cal Quantrill (Rockies) on their main slate. Both sites should have nice afternoon tilt slates as well.   WEATHER Orioles at White Sox – This one looks worse than the one below.  They’ll probably have to wait it out and both teams play afternoon games tomorrow. Braves at Pirates – This one is much clearer.  I doubt they run into any issues but a slight chance of late inning delay.   Kudos to DraftKings (and FD) as I think their pricing today is spot on. CHRIS SALE (DK: $10,500, FD: $11,000) Sale or bust.  He is back to his prime/elite ways pitching with Atlanta & Pittsburgh vs LHP has almost no power outside of Edward Olivares – who has a 42% strikeout rate against LH sliders, so yeah, advantage Sale here. PABLO LOPEZ (DK: $9300, FD: $9600) So much for the hope that Texas would wake up yesterday against Paddack.  They’ll have an even tougher time against Lopez, who has the luxury of coming off a short 74 pitch outing vs the Nationals earlier this week and is primed to give Minnesota 7+ innings today.  Lopez doesn’t walk anyone and Texas is not hitting singles right now, so expect him to have lots of 1-2-3 innings whenever he doesn’t have to see Seager or Adolis.  I do think Adolis takes him deep once though. ROBERT GASSER (DK: $6600) Whatever the Red Sox are going to roll out today, it probably won’t be very good.  Although no Tyler O’Neill might be a good thing the way that meathead is approaching his plate appearances now.  Gasser finally got lit up in his last start, something every rookie SP must go through and I’m really only considering him today because we’re short on cheap options & the Red Sox lineup is fucking dog shit.  Somehow there’s a reason to use Gasser or the Sox shitty value bats today, pick one. Other Pitching Thoughts Would love Kyle Bradish vs Chicago but the weather is a big concern. Streaks end on Sundays.  I really can see Tampa beating Kansas City today, but I think it’s more through the offense than Tampa winning a game 2-1.  Taj Bradley is pitching fantastic & is…...
