Friday Dongers Club Appreciation Contest – Round #2 Rules: You must stack 2 teams together, minimum of 3 players from each team (hitters). https://www.draftkings.com/draft/contest/128621346 I am on the road most of today so I am having the article publish early but if there are late scratches or things of that nature I likely will not be updating anything in the article — but the Dashboard should update.

I project a 6 inning clean game. [spacer height=”20px”] OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS … Pablo Lopez is very tempting for me tonight, but the Mets just find a way to win games and their lineup is too pesky. Both Grays are in for a long night. I considered Sonny but thought otherwise. Charlie Morton and Zack Wheeler could go 7+ in their match-ups and both should be mediocre ownership. The challenge is Morton is coming off great starts and the Nationals likely will hit well in Atlanta and Wheeler is facing the Cardinals twice in one week which really worries me.
