The Dongers Club – July 31st – Main

WEATHER

Cubs at Reds – Very ugly late in the game here but if it starts then we gotta consider it a full go.

 

The two best options tonight do not include the guy coming off a no-hitter (just a golden rule for me) and they do not include Framber Valdez at home vs the Pirates.  Which could possibly open up just a nice leverage type build tonight as I think Valdez will be popular.

  1. Logan Webb (DK: $8600, FD: $9000) … Trust Webb.  He doesn’t care how his team is doing overall.  He’ll take the ball, roll out 7 strong and then go back to sitting quietly in his house.
  2. Nick Lodolo (DK: $9200, FD: $9200) … Weather and small park are risks.  Higher K% upside offsets a solo HR or two.

 

I expect to pitch well but not have a high score.

  1. Ross Stripling

 

FAVORITE STACKS

  1. PIRATES … (McCutchen, De La Cruz, Hayes, Cruz) … Houston will be the chalky side against former ChiSox P Jake Woodford.  The OF here in Pitt is good against Framber as a nice core stack and dont sleep on Oneil if going all in.
  2. ANGELS … (Ward, O’Hoppe, Drury)
  3. REDS … (India, De La Cruz, Stephenson)
