The Dongers Club – Aug 7th

WEATHER

I won’t be able to double check all the weather, so monitor it accordingly but it looks pretty clear for all games to play.

1. CHRIS SALE (DK: $10,300) … I lean Sale over Skubal who is probably more popular in Seattle tonight.  A little leverage play at the top.  Atlanta is winning.
2. COLE RAGANS (DK: $9,000) … KC Desperately needs a big game from Ragans.  They no longer can win the tie-breaker w/ the Red Sox now but he’s someone I expect to deliver a great 6 inning outing against Boston tonight which will get him over 20 DK FPTS with good K% upside.
3. ERICK FEDDE (DK: $7700) … The only cheap option to look at.  We have two guys who got moved at the deadline that fall into this category with Trevor Rogers being the other – but you gotta believe Fedde avoids blow up much easier tonight.

 

1. CARDINALS … They’re better vs RHP and are a good contrarian spot.  Granted, I think lots of contrarian builds are good tonight (see Atlanta below)
2. BRAVES
3. METS

Definitely can go back to the Baltimore well and hope they wake up tonight, I don’t hate it and I’m sure as the day moves along I’ll talk myself into making them the top ML play tonight as well.
