Welcome to the Tuesday, September 15th edition of The Dongers Club and that sweet, sweet smell in the air is the smell of site synchronicity as we have a nice 12 game slate on DK and a nice 12 game slate on FD tonight. The weekend of NFL and College Football action was nice and all, but having the final two weeks of the MLB regular season without a ton of noise tonight is very refreshing.

Jose Urquidy Urquidy checks into the conversation tonight against a lefty heavy Texas lineup who projects to have a 25% strikeout rate tonight a pretty low .325 wOBA and a sub .200 ISO against LHP on the season. His price is diminished because he’s only pitched twice this season and has just 3…...
