The Dongers Club – April 13th

A great Friday night is followed up with a HEAVY afternoon slate today.  11 games on DraftKings from 1PM-4PM start times and the FanDuel folks have given us two slates, a 1PM and a 4PM but they haven’t yet posted that 7PM slate, so no assurances that it loads on the Dashboard. DOUBLE HEADERS Yankees & Guardians are playing two today.  Neither is on a normal DFS slate. Twins & Tigers are also playing two today.  Game 1 (Ryan vs Maeda) is on the Main Slate. WEATHER Tons and tons of wind.  I hate wind.  It’s the worst thing mother nature can give us.  It’s basically her saying fuck your golf ball, I am going to send it over there and screw your putting ability I am … oh wait, sorry, going on a golf rant watching so much wind at the Masters yesterday. MIN @ DET:  The wind does give us one of my favorite weather narratives.  Wind 14+ MPH to Left Center in Comerica Park = Overs, and that’s what we have here.  Unfortunately it’s a very early afternoon Saturday start, but Kenta Maeda against his former Twins team?  Fuck yes, lets go. KC @ NYM:  Cross winds, heavy, yucky. COL @ TOR:  Expect roof closed. TEX @ HOU:  Big attention on the roof here.  It’s 80+ and 13 MPH winds out to left which in the dome might not seem like much but it can be if they have that roof open. MIL @ BAL:  Heavy winds here out to RF PIT @ PHI:  Just like Baltimore WSH @ OAK:  Rain in Oakland, game should play LAA @ BOS:  16+ MPH winds out to RF. ATL @ MIA:  Heeeey, no wind impacts here. SF @ TB:  Hot Dogs, Free Samples and all the bulk toilet paper you could want.   Top Recommendations MACKENZIE GORE (DK: $8800, FD: $8000) … My kid returns out to the west coast and is responsible for taming the … white hot Oakland athletics?  They’re winning games because Dogs win in April, but they are not winning games because of an elite offense or anything like that.  This is a perfect match-up for Gore as Oakland should produce a ton of whiffs on his curveball.  Look for a 7+ strikeout performance. CHRIS SALE (DK: $9400, FD: $9700) … I am not a Braves fan, but I am a Sale fan and even I…...
