The Dongers Club – 8/24

WEATHER

TOR at BAL:  Lingering Rain

CHC at PIT:  Lingering Rain

All in all, I expect all five games to play.

 

Only two pitchers I feel very comfortable with tonight:

Justin Steele (DK: $9800, FD: $10,400)

Ken Waldichuck (DK: $5300, FD: $6700)

We can make a good argument for Pablo Lopez, but I just don’t see why you would venture down that path against Texas, who is a ticking time bomb every slate.  Merrill Kelly is someone I am attacking tonight, but I would expect him to be a little popular.

Kyle Gibson and Andrew Heaney honestly scare me more than Waldichuk.  Heaney between the two has a higher probability to come out and shove though.

 

REDS

TJ Friedl, Stephenson, De La Cruz, Votto

Could be a little crazy here and pluck some bottom lineup value like Benson or Marte to go with Stephenson and Elly as a one off.  Elly in this park should have a field day.

ATHLETICS

Butler, Gelof, Noda, Rooker, Brown

Who else totally see’s Oakland jacking 5 HR’s tonight on the South Side in 90+ degree temps?  I sure as hell do.

CUBS

Happ, Tauchman, Bellinger
