The link to tonight’s Dongers Club Member Appreciation Contest is Below. No rules on your lineup and free to enter but remember this is a 2 day contest with the second part being on Friday. Total cumulative points between the two nights is used for the Standings. In May’s contest we will have some ‘creative’ rules spread across a full week… DraftKings Link For – April Dongers Club Contest [spacer height=”20px”] WEATHER Some rain to monitor today, including, yes, the Nationals … Marlins at Nationals – Light Rain, Fall like conditions.

Neither team is hitting much (although KC is arguably better lately than Chicago), and the idea of using Dallas Keuchel off his disaster start mid week last week is not one to be comforted by.
