Welcome to the Monday Edition of the Dongers Club, which features the information we need for this fine 11 game Monday slate. Two games start early in the Senior Citizen’s slate and both are down in Florida, which feels just natural and is also why we name that the Senior Citizens slate. Tonight’s slate kicks off games in Camden, SkyDome*, Fenway Pawk, Citi Field, Miller* Park, Wrigley, The graveyard in Texas, Kauffman, Coors, Not Coors (Oakland), and Dodger Stadiums.

LUIS SEVERINO I can tell you right now my gut says that Severino will not finish with some dominant score that makes you kick yourself for fading him. What you will be kicking yourself about is not taking Severino’s 6 innings of clean Baseball in a park which isn’t going off and a lineup that has a bunch of cold hitters right now since Jorge Mateo might be out due to injury. NOAH SYNDERGAARD I am just confident in taking pitchers against bad offenses. Unfortunately the list of bad offenses and opposing SP who can go 5+ IP tonight also seems to be limited, so despite Thor being on the road he is still in a favorable pitching park and if the roof is closed as expected then I think he gets through this Rangers lineup without any major…...
