The Dongers Club – August 8th

WEATHER

All clear

 

  1. George Kirby (DK: $8900)
  2. Matthew Liberatore (DK: $6100)
  3. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (DK: $10,300) … Their slide ends tonight, but the #1/#2 pitchers above are the stronger play.

 

I think this ends up being a deeper SP slate.  deGrom/Bradish both look okay & Roupp probably manages to get you 5 solid innings vs the Tigers, however if it turns sideways the Tigers could just get on a roll with slapping singles and doubles in San Fran.  So I think your risk there is high.

 

  1. Brewers:  Too many walks for Taj Bradley will once again haunt him here.
  2. Houston vs San Diego:  This is the contrarian game tonight IMO.  Both pitchers probably draw some ownership but you do have an earlier start in PETCO, ball should carry well.
