The Dongers Club – 8/25

WEATHER

All clear

 

KYLE HARRISON (DK: $9500)

PAUL SKENES (DK: $9000)

Call it the PETCO air, call it being naive.  Skenes is your top pick tonight beating out or at least equaling Gavin Williams.  I’ll buy low on a good start but the only fear is they are 100% going to limit him.

ADRIAN HOUSER (DK: $5700)

Cheap and of course the Reds have no homer power in San Francisco.

 

ADDITIONAL PITCHER DEEP THOUGHTS

  • Nola vs Kirby is not the slide back to a low scoring game.  They’ll have another mid-high scoring game tonight and then finish it off with a quiet pitchers duel tomorrow between …. *checks notes* …. Jesus Luzardo and Bryan Woo.  Damnit, I was hoping it was Painter.
  • Believe it or not, Chris Bassitt will pitch well vs a lefty heavy Cardinals lineup.  But not well enough.

 

DODGERS

Poor Bryce Elder.  LA is going to wake up with a beating on Elder.

  • Max Muncy (LAD)
  • Kyle Tucker
  • Shohei Ohtani
  • Mookie Betts
  • Tommy Edman

 

ROYALS

These fuckers either come in as chalk and score 8 runs when you don’t have them or they come in and score 1 run off a 9th inning Carter Jensen homer.  Just be comfortable with either outcome.

  • Carter Jensen
  • Vinnie Pasquantino
