The Dongers Club – Aug 22nd

WEATHER

All Clear

 

SLATE THOUGHTS

There are three games tonight on this short 5 game slate which have the feelings of high stress/brawl type games.  Reds/Pirates, Astros/Orioles and Bryce Harper/Orlando Arcia.  Damn good slate my friends and then of course we have to realize that the Angels and Blue Jays are probably the two teams who decide the winning lineups tonight.  Awesome.

 

Two pitchers coming off HORRIFIC starts are capable of putting up good lines but neither should be used.  Those guys would be Nick Lodolo and Corbin Burnes.  Really, the Skenes/Cease combination should be a high ownership play tonight to pay up and then just go with cheap Angels/Jays bats.  It seems too simple.

  1. DYLAN CEASE (DK: $9400, FD: $10.1k)
  2. PAUL SKENES (DK: $9900, FD: $10.9k)

 

TOP TEAM

ANGELS

  • Zack Neto, Nolan Schanuel, Logan O’Hoppe, Anthony Rendon

The Blue Jays will be heavier owned and not a bad idea to go Springer/Varsho/Vlad/Wagner as a top of the lineup stack for certain, but the Angels are going to feast on the Jays pen just as much.

  • PHILLIES … Harper, Bohm, Turner
