Sunday Dongers Club – 8/23

WEATHER All clear   Cristopher Sanchez (DK: $11,800) Even though the ceiling is clearly there on Sanchez to not go too deep in his recent games, the efficiency is still fantastic.  6 innings, high strikeout rate, clean game.  Take it. Cristian Javier (DK: $7300) He’s gonna win.  Trust me on that much.  The model is drunk, no reason for all the Athletics hitters to be that high. Jose Soriano (DK: $8800) & Carlos Rodon (DK: $9100) Both are alright, but both should be played together if you go here.   SUNDAY SLEEPER Yusei Kikuchi (DK: $6900) Define “Fuck it, it’s late August, I dont care” in a pitcher recommendation and Kikuchi back off the IL has to fit that better than anything else I could have ever imagined.  He’s been awful, was awful in rehab and probably won’t go five innings today. So now the Rangers probably proceed to go hitless over those 5 innings.   ASTROS Ted Lasso opens it up for the Athletics today.  Oh, Brady Basso, same thing.  His huge breaking ball is gonna look like a beach ball for Isaac Paredes with 1 or 2 on in the bottom of the first. Isaac Paredes Jose Altuve Christian Walker   PHILLIES Man, remember when people were bashing the Phillies for having no clue what they were doing and failng to build upon their roster at the trade deadline?  Where are those morons now as this team has quietly turned it on. Kyle Schwarber Harper, Bryce Bryson Stott   ALSO WORTHY OF LOOKING AT Orioles:  Alonso is on another planet, unfortunately Walker is a strong play ahead of him today. Royals:  They are #Royaling very hard.  Winning and looking good after being so far out of it.  Perez is having a late season surge, so I’d ride him cheap here. Mets / White Sox:  This game just screams dumb shit.     CATCHER Salvador Perez Luis Torrens Drew Romo   FIRST BASE Christian Walker Pete Alonso Kyle Schwarber   SECOND BASE Jose Altuve Bryson Stott Xavier Edwards   THIRD BASE Isaac Paredes Nick Loftin Miguel Vargas   SHORTSTOP Francisco Lindor Gunnar Henderson Bobby Baseball   OUTFIELD – Mt.
