The Dongers Club – June 12th

A typical Monday with just seven DFS games to satisfy your thirst tonight and only one team who was home yesterday is also home tonight (St. Louis)   WEATHER No concerns. The roof will be OPEN at Chase Field.   This slate is void of high strikeout arms.  Of the 14 options today, only three of them are coming in off a start where they had over 30% CSW rate and 7 of them were below 20%.  On the season there are only three who average over 30% total.  Not a ton of consistency on the board today. Meanwhile, Zack Eflin is $11,000 versus Oakland tonight.  Zack Eflin. Yes, that Zack Eflin. TOP ARM(S) Jesus Luzardo (DK: $9600) I am not in love with Luzardo today, but then I am not in love with any pitcher tonight.  He has the one thing nobody else has and that’s high end strike-out rates vs a team who strikes out a ton.  He also has what everyone else has and that’s major red flags. The Mariners smash fastballs from southpaws, he has always been a horrible west coast pitcher as well and Ty France/Teoscar Hernandez come in hot.  But, 7 strikeouts over 5 innings should negate the damage enough.   SECONDARY ARMS Luke Weaver (DK: $7500, FD: $) There’s Good teams, and then there are Bad teams, then there’s 50 feet of crap.  Then there’s the Royals.  It’s not one specific thing with the team and the offense certainly isn’t the main culprit here, but you can just tell when you look at a team when the hitters are in sync.  Baseball is often misunderstood in that regard because everyone thinks of it as an individual game, however momentum or “streaks” in Baseball come from when you can tell that a lineup is taking their approaches at the plate with a team mentality and not “hey cool, I’m new to the big leagues, let me see what I can do here”.  It’s a winning culture thing and right now the Royals just don’t have it.  So maybe there’s a Pratto long double tonight or more likely Melendez has a 2-2 night off Weaver who is horrible vs LHH, but the Royals aren’t posting a 5 spot on Luke and they’ll run themselves out of any big innings tonight allowing Luke to do just fine. Connor Seabold (DK: $5400) On a normal slate we…...
