The Dongers Club – June 6th

I’ll just be doing this one article today with nothing for the NIGHT slate except for a quick summary at the bottom of this article.

 

WEATHER

All games will play.  There’s a slight chance you see a minor delay in either St. Louis, Philly or Wrigley just due to storms or rain drizzle but I doubt it.  It’s humid, hot and mid afternoon Saturday.  You know the drill by now.  1st inning homers galore at 4PM

 

KYLE BRADISH (DK: $8000)

When you think Bradish is done he rises up and pitches like an ace.  That’s what he’s doing right now.  So, yeah, naturally everyone is going to take him at this discount & watch him implode?  Stop being so negative.  Bradish’ curveball has nearly a 50% whiff rate & Vladdy/Varsho/Okamoto/Sanchez are all swinging at it a ton.  In fact, Okamoto might spin himself like a robot and kick some poor little kid swinging at it.

BEN BROWN (DK: $8500)

I have to admit that I did not have Ben Brown being the Cubs best pitcher on my BINGO card, but then that’s not really saying much these days.   We have reverse blow out theory in full effect after the Cubs were a major let down on Ferris Buehler Friday.  Brown’s held opposing RHH to a .182 wOBA and is striking out the lefties at nearly a 30% clip.  If he keeps those metrics up today he’ll be just fine avoiding Willy Adames depositing balls into the bleachers and Raffy Devers realizing he too can hit home runs.  Pass through those two bats & Brown is gonna pitch a shutout through 6.

ALSO DONT HATE

  • Landen Roupp (DK: $8800):  If playing I would pair with Brown
  • Shane McClanahan (DK: $9500):   Looks like he is tiring out.  The price isn’t reflective of what you will get, but he is safe from a -13.

 

THE ONLY CHEAP ARM I THINK I LIKE

  • ZACK LITTELL (DK: $5700):  High Risk spot here.  The rare Saturday 4PM game in Arizona for … some … weird … reason?  Huh?  What are they doing?  Must be a National TV day.  So, yeah, lets roll with Littell as a ‘Saturday’ Sleeper here.  Wait, I gave zero reason, right?  Mostly beacuse Arizona’s only got two lefties at the moment and they’re 1-2.  If Littell catches them sleeping in the 1st inning he’ll cruise to a 14-16 FPT game.

 

PHILLIES

The thought of the Bank on a Saturday in June at 4 PM with 90 degree temps, winds out to RF and the White Sox hope to get past Schwarber/Harper/Marsh with a lefty opener ahead of Sean Burke???

Laughing GIFs | Tenor

And, yes, the White Sox will hit some bombs out on Painter too — but I kinda think he is turning the corner after a really long rough patch and think you get another 6 inning, 5-6 hits, 2-3 ER game.  Solid start, Colson Montgomery bomb.

BUCCOS vs BRAVES

This one looks like two pitchers working against each other for who can have the most whiffs.  It’s not.  This is a 13-9 game.  It’s an over.  O’Hearn, Lowe, Cruz are going to fucking take Strider and smack that mustache off his face.  Atlanta has the tougher draw vs Ashcraft, but they will get to him and then go off on the bullpen.

  • Oneil Cruz
  • Matt Olson
