Hello friends, what a fine day of Baseball we have going into this Eastern Weekend. A little heads up, there is unlikely to be a Sunday Dongers Club this weekend. We have the return of Cubs home Friday afternoon games today, making this a nice TestiFriday with the Cubs hosting the D’Backs, then a 3 game Turbo slate and then onto our MAIN 11 game slate. WEATHER Nationals at Rockies: PPD White Sox at Red Sox: Chance of rain This is an offense slate. It’s a holiday weekend technically & warmer temps in a few spots. If you wanna believe in conspiracies then tonight feels like a night when the HR alerts go off non-stop to get folks back into the hype of the long ball. LOGAN WEBB (DK: $9000, FD: $9800) After a LONG road trip the Angels got cold late & are back home. Go spend time with the wives, kids, or whoever you have too and then oh shit, we gotta go to the park and … oh wait, we’re down 6-1 in the 7th inning and Logan Webb has 9 strikeouts. How did that happen? Well, you’re the Angels. That’s how. FREDDY PERALTA (DK: $9500, FD: $9600) I dont think there is a bigger BOOM or BUST play out there today than Peralta. The Athletics can be sneaky, they have shown some hitting pop & if they lose it’s most likely because of bad pitching lately. That said, they’re still a lineup filled with whiffs & Peralta is looking good this season thus far. DREW RASMUSSEN (DK: $8300, FD: $8600) Yes, the Yankees know the park from Spring Training but how often are they playing at night in the bad lighting? Death. Taxes. Rays at home on Friday nights my friends. OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS For the punt on pitching 2 crowd, Bryce Elder might do well but the Twins are finally playing in warm weather and might feel like they grew 3 inches tonight, too risky. Miles Mikolas & Drew Peterson are the two most likely to get into a pitchers duel that nobody wants to watch. But even then, why bother, they’re not free. It really is a spread em out and bang em out night. Wait, that’s kinda odd sounding, but I mean play a 2-2-2 type core stack build today. Offense should be a plenty… REDS While the Orioles will look tempting…...
