The Dongers Club – August 7th – Early

WEATHER

All five of the early games are clear for weather.  The wind is blowing OUT but not much in Wrigley Field.

 

 

Cole Irvin

Irvin is what I would consider the boring but safe option today.  Texas gives him a + boost match-up and for $7,500 he is locked in as one of the safter options available.

Carlos Rodon

Rodon had two rough starts vs Milwaukee and KC, but the Cubs are a much better spot for him and between him, Heaney and Ray as the best upside guys today he is head and shoulders above the other two.

 

Meanwhile I expect Flexen and Heaney to actually bust the chalk hitting in the Seattle/Yankee game and pitch decently, but also see no reason to use them in DFS

 

Boston Red Sox

Boston is in a spot to win someone five figures today.  On a short slate with them having potentially 5% ownership against a LHP who still has that little get wild twitch in him and in a decent ballpark too this is what leaps out to me as that spot I have been referencing for Boston where they just explode onto the scene.  We have positive splits spots for Kike, Xander and JD, so load up a five man Boston stack and go all in here.

Chicago White Sox

Jose Abreu has three straight positive games with 2 HR in that stretch and continues to be someone I would target heavily for the next week or so.  The strength though against Adbert is going to be Cesar Hernandez, Brian Goodwin and Yoan Moncada.
