The Dongers Club – July 29th

A short slate tonight, which is five games and could get cut down to just four.  The NBA Draft is on and if you channel surf enough there might be womens water polo which is highly entertaining.  I strongly advise to just take it easy tonight.

 

WEATHER

Toronto at Boston – either is PPD before it starts or plays all the way.

 

Frankie Montas

Montas is pitching better than anyone else on tonights slate and will have plenty of run support.  Roster him with confidence.

Joe Musgrove

Hard to not consider Musgrove, and I am not going to try and be cute and say “but you can roster Colorado because Musgrove has struggled lately”.  He’s been dominant at home and should be dominant tonight.

Chad Kuhl

Kuhl is a little “overpriced” given that he’s a Pirates pitcher but is still solid value and in the final game here vs Milwaukee I am leaning on a lower scoring game than we have seen thus far.

 

Oakland Athletics

Marte, Olson, Chapman, Lowrie

Hey sweet, Dylan Bundy is on this slate and he’s at home vs the Athletics who to me are going to surge now with the acquisition of Starling Marte, who likely is batting 2nd, which will make them the top stack on this small slate.

Boston Red Sox (Rain Issues)

Raffy Devers

This game has major rain issues but if it plays Boston is a team to be buying into for a surge.  Good teams like Boston do not suddenly go quiet forever and while Xander is definitely nursing an injury, Rafael Devers continues to be the one steady option.

Orioles vs Tigers

Nice wind boost in Detroit tonight.  Casey Mize continues to just throw about 60 pitches, give up 1 ER and then leave to go sit in the dugout and watch the game get blown.
