The Dongers Club – May 6th

WEATHER

  • TIGERS at ROCKIES:  PPD because the Rockies didnt want to lose 28-3.

We should be all clear tonight for a change.

 

CHRIS SALE (DK: $8800, FD: $9900)

$1200 less than Skenes for someone who is more likely to go 6+ innings and strikeout double digit batters.  Flipping Elly to the right side helps and I’ll just ignore whatever crack DraftKings is on thinking Tyler Stephenson is $5,000 vs Sale.  Okay, Tyler Stephenson hits a HR, but we still get our 10 strikeout spot.

SETH LUGO (DK: $8700, FD: $9200)

Uh, yeah, the White Sox aren’t scoring this entire series the way things look.  KC’s pitching is on a roll and in years past we have learned that you trust a pitching staff when they are all hot like this.  The catching, the pitching coaches, the scouting, its all aligned right now for the Royals against the bad White Sox and when Lorenzen isn’t pitching.

OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS

  • Nice revenge game spot for Michael King in the Bronx.  Expect Bombs…
  • Ladies and Gentlemen … Please, welcome back.  Joseeeee Ureeennnnaaaa!

 

ORIOLES vs TWINS

Welcome to my game of the night and maybe game of the month?  It’s finally warm up in Target Field.  You don’t need me to sell you on the Orioles pitching being horrific and a target — but Pablo Lopez is someone that has his worst outing tonight too.  The Orioles hitters are alive, both Ryan’s will homer.

Stack this game and enjoy.

CUBS

Just play the damn Cubs every night and especially when they’re at home.  There’s no weather or juiced balls, just damn good hitting — although maybe they’re the new Astros if you know what I mean.  Either way, it’s not 2015, Justin Verlander is not going to dominate them.

ATHLETICS

Emerson Hancock.  End of analysis

OTHER SPOTS

  • Tigers:  Yeah, Coors Field looks good, but Dollander is someone I respect.  Either way, they’ll find a way off the pen.
  • Mets at D’Backs:  Roof will be open tonight, or so they say this time…
