The Dongers Club – May 6th (Early)

Here are the four MLB games going ‘Early’ on this Saturday which is light in the afternoon for Baseball.

  • Tigers at Cardinals … Temps climbing after morning rain and some decent wind in this game as well
  • Rockies at Mets … Very nice day
  • Yankees at Rays
  • Marlins at Cubs … Showers throughout the day – I expect game to play

TYLOR MEGILL

Fantastic weather up there in Citi Field but I see that waking up the Mets bats more than juicing the Rockies vs Megill.

DREW RASMUSSEN

I would not advise using Wainwright in his first start of the MLB season, nor do I trust German to deliver like he did in his last start.  Rasmussen will get to 5 1/3 or maybe 6 IP today if we are lucky, but he will do it without a ton of ER allowed to a bad offense.

 

MARLINS / CUBS

Soler, Berti | Swanson, Happ Suzuki

Don’t really care too much about the wind, but it could help a little bit out to LF.  I really don’t trust either SP and Soler vs Smyly should be a HR pick today for prop betting.

METS

Marte, Alonso, Canha

After going ice cold, they are incredibly cheap against Austin Gomber.  Pete Alonso, Starling Marte and Mark Canha

 

CATCHER

  1. Tucker Barnhardt
  2. Christian Bethancourt

 

FIRST BASE

  1. Pete Alonso
  2. Paul Goldschmidt
  3. Trey Mancini

 

SECOND BASE

  1. Jon Berti
  2. Nolan Gorman

 

THIRD BASE

  1. Ryan McMahon … Third base is so bad today that I’ll be fine on a short 4 game slate locking in McMahon vs Megill in my own lineup.  Gimme that solo hr.

 

SHORTSTOP

  1. Dansby Swanson
  2. Wander Franco

 

OUTFIELD – Mt. Rushmore

  1. Jorge Soler
  2. Starling Marte
  3. Seiya Suzuki
  4. Mark Canha

 

 

  1. Jorge Soler – OF – Marlins – Chairman of The Dongers Club
  2. Ryan McMahon – 3B – Rockies
  3. Pete Alonso – 1B – Mets
