Welcome to the Sunday Edition of The Dongers Club, with one showdown game going off between the Cardinals and Pirates featuring the Porn Stache Miles Mikolas and Dick Mountain, live at 11:35 am, streaming live into your living rooms on Peacock. Then we have a ten game Main slate, followed by the most underrated slate in Daily Fantasy Sports, a three game 4PM Sunday afternoon slate which features the Italian, a Gallen and maybe some Marcus Stroman chalk. It all wraps up with an early dusk/late afternoon game in Chavez Ravine between Domingo German and Bobby Miller. Should be a good Sunday, folks. Let’s dive in. WEATHER Without looking, guess what the temperature in Boston is today…. It’s 48 degrees. For a HIGH! With an 18% chance of rain. Get the fuck out of here. In May? And my wife wonders why we’ll never move up there. F that noise man. Overall that 1-2 day heat wave has gone away everywhere. All games should play though without any PPD risk. TOP ARM(s) Sandy Alcantara (DK: $9000, FD: $9700) South Beach Sunday with Sandy, the hapless Athletics and one of his best spots of the season and certainly of late. Look for a 30% strikeout rate against a lineup who doesn’t walk an excessive amount and has very little power. 7 innings, 7 strikeouts, 1 ER. Lock and load Sandy… Nate Eovaldi (DK: $11k, FD: $10.8k) Eovaldi versus Bryce Miller is easily the best A vs B pitching match-up today. I don’t wanna fuck with Texas’ lineup right now so Miller is OUT and Eovaldi at 11k on DraftKings has been producing like that but presents a scenario of deciding to pair him and the comfortable Alcantara together and manage the lineup construction after that. SP2 CANDIDATES There are none today. You are either pairing the two guys above together or moving down to the Sunday Sleeper gut call section and boy do I have some thoughts in that regard. Taj Bradley at $8800 just doesn’t work for me. Put all your data and metrics aside and recognize that you’ll be banking on a Rays pitcher who has not thrown more than 90 pitches all season (his last start) to go longer and better than Sandy or big Nate and even in chilly Boston I can’t justify that as a thing you must do. Will he suck? Doubt…...
