The Dongers Club – May 8th (Early)

A perfect Wednesday for MLB and MLB DFS.  You have 8 games early and 7 games late.  You have the Angels vs the Pirates at 12:35 on a fucking Wednesday in May.  How could you not look at today and say, wow, today is gonna be a good day?

Brady Singer is pitching too!

WEATHER

NYM @ STL:  Potential heavy/severe storms rolling through which could deter the pitchers from having a clean game.  I do expect the full game to play however.  Notably the weather could impact Sonny Gray.

 

  1. TANNER BIBEE (DK: $8400, FD: $9000) … Bounce back spot, game should go the way of the Tribe.
  2. BRADY SINGER (DK: $8600, FD: $9600) … Singer is becoming consistent, something I absolutely love and the CSW% rates are much more reliable this season.  There’s probably a 2-run HR to Hoskins in this game, but otherwise I see a 6 IP and 7 K game.
  3. HAYDEN WESNESKI (DK: $6400, FD: $7400) … Hope for no heavy limit on PC now, and he is your best cheap SP2 option.

 

OTHER PITCHING THOUGHTS

  • Aaron Nola has a history of putting together these streaks both good and bad, and a not very Nola like start his last outing could carry over here, along with very warm and favorable hitting conditions a the CBP.
  • Sorry Jack Leiter, but rules are rules.  We have trends and we have system plays and one of the Dongers Club system plays is BAGO.  Blowouts?  Always.  Go.   Opposite. the next day.
  • I hate when Cease has to face a team a second time and the Cubs did see him (didnt do well) in San Diego earlier.
