The Dongers Club – Sep 2nd – Early

A gem of an early September afternoon slate today.  Really really like this one a lot.

One big theme for me on this slate is that after two low scoring games the Orioles & Rockies in the afternoon with Sugano facing his former team is the OVER game in the series.  And after two high scoring games the Mariners/Red Sox in a 4PM September game at Fenway winds up going under but both pitchers feel like they’re in high stress all game long.
