Wednesday – May 10th – Dongers Club (Early/Main) I am calling this the MAIN slate today, because gosh darn it, it is the main slate. It’s an early one a mid week Wednesday and a slate full of getaway day games. FanDuel is back to their old ways splitting things up with a short Very Early slate, then the Early slate, then their own Main slate. This will be the only article today and it covers these games OAK @ NYY COL @ PIT DET @ CLE LAD @ MIL MIA @ ARI TEX @ SEA WSH @ SF TOR @ PHI HOU @ LAA WEATHER All clear I see two paths today. For one you can take the higher end SP’s that can get 20+ in Kershaw and Castillo and ride short bus stacks like the Pirates or you can ride the short bus on Pitching with Dick Mountain (Rich Hill) and … *gulp* Sean Manaea and load up on the what feels too good to fail high priced bats in the OF and one offs today. HIGH END ARMS Clayton Kershaw Luis Castillo Kershaw is coming off a tough start vs San Diego, now gets a much easier opponent in the Brewers, but they do have HR upside against him today so I do not think this is a repeat of that near no hitter he had vs the Twins a year ago around the same time. Castillo is someone who tempts me the most today, the K upside is massive vs Texas, but so too is the risk here. MID RANGE / CHEAP ARMS Edward Cabrera Rich Hill None of the Diamondbacks hitters made my list of options today, and so we have a roof closed Chase Field game and a sub 8k Edward Cabrera who has a 31% whiff rate which could fool the Diamondbacks enough to trust him. Sean Manaea and Rich Hill are both getting weak offenses in get away spots. Manaea will need to limit his walks vs the Nationals but should be able to do that and will win today, but there are too many metrics pointing to this game being high scoring with the Nats having some good options as well. I had him on my short list and decided to pull him back to spare you that headache. Dick Mountain is going to get an up and down, but…...
