The Dongers Club – Mon, April 5th

  Brace yourself for a wild week in MLB DFS scheduling.  There are a TON of mid afternoon games all week this week — including a wild Wednesday slate and a mini Friday slate.  Mostly this is due to the MLB schedule and teams who were on the road last weekend opening up their season at home either today, tomorrow or Friday of this week.  Some of the schedule start times are very questionable — including the desire for teams to continue to play 6:30 PM EST games which has the sites including them on a mini slate before the main slates. All in all, I think there was a lot to DISLIKE about the fact that we had a five game Friday slate and then two FIVE game slates on Saturday.  Basically, it might feel like the season is a Month old but we haven’t had a ‘normal’ slate yet.  Tonight is close to that with seven games on a Monday night, but you gotta remember we have had Opening Day Three five game slates spread out over two days (Fri/Sat) A Sunday slate That’s it so far.  We haven’t had the nice routine of Mon-Tue-Wed 9-13-10 game slates.  It’s coming and I greatly prefer that routine so hopefully we start to get lock at 6:40 PM EST in stead of 7:05 when those spots arise.
