Twelve games today. Round 2 of the August Dongers Club Contest: https://www.draftkings.com/draft/contest/131019896 [spacer height=”10px”] WEATHER OAK at WAS: Stormy. Lack of fans likely attending as well. Godspeed Nationals…. LAD at NYM: Light Rain, game likely plays. Happy Cody Bellinger series. Comerica Wind: 14 MPH out to Left Center. Hello! All else is clear [spacer height=”10px”] Kevin Gausman Cubs have been better lately about not striking out but are still a weak lineup and still have Franmil Reyes, who should strike out 3 times tonight. George Kirby I can’t believe I like Kirby tonight, nor can I believe my model likes Kirby. Well, yes I can. If he can keep the ball down he will have a 9 strikeout dominant performance with a ton of run support. Max Fried This isn’t an elite Fried type spot today but it’s a very safe one.

Cole Irvin has not been as good away from Oakland Taijuan Walker is the type of guy who shows up in a big spot, has certainly had some nice spots vs the Dodgers historically but rain, wind out to right and some Dodgers hitting well in Citi Field have me off him. Erick Fedde Erick Fedde and blah. [spacer height=”10px”] Seattle Mariners J-Rod, Winker, Haniger, Frazier Tigers young pitcher Matt Manning has had a fine second half to the season, but the Mariners are better than his last two opponents (SF/LAA) and come in with a bunch of hitters who are solid fastball and slider hitters. If they can knock him out and get some bad Tigers pen, the Mariners will score 10+ tonight. [spacer height=”10px”] Boston Red Sox Xander, Story, Devers, Verdugo Hello, this is me chasing a team I think should rake in Target Field. Nothing more, nothing less. [spacer height=”10px”] Atlanta Braves Harris, Riley, Olson, d’Arnaud Shocked to see Ronnie Acuna sitting tonight as Jose Urena, the man who has plunked him twice, is coming into…...
