Obviously tonight is a big night in New York and you have the Mets/Yankees being scheduled to play for good reason on the 25th anniversary. In terms of DFS if you wanna jump on some ‘narrative’ play that both teams are gonna hit lots of homers here then alright, but I don’t think we get that.
No MLB DFS tomorrow or Sunday. Back next week for the final Dongers Club articles during regular season.
WEATHER
All clear
Luckily for some of these pitchers tonight it’s September, but nobody looks extremely safe or like an elite play tonight. Sale at home vs the Phillies is always a pay up take the stud scenario against a ‘perceived’ good lineup, but he isn’t likely to completely outshine Snell vs the Marlins as the top pick.
- Blake Snell (DK: $10,700)
- Chris Sale (DK: $11,000)
For second tier pitching options, Robbie Ray is going back to San Francisco for a little Robbie Ray after dark — that’s a big no no. Drew Rasmussen has been pitching well – but not who we want vs Houston. I like MacKenzie Gore’s upside at his price but the Zona offense will be too risky to touch that. So lets get weird, shall we?
- Matthew Liberatore (DK: $7000)
- Merrill Kelly (DK: $6400)
- Anthony Kay (DK: $6500)
