The Dongers Club – June 23rd

Today is a Friday.  So there are going to be 15 games tonight, right?  RIGHT??   Newp.  The Cubs, the CUBS of all teams, are being sent over to London to play in London for some unknown reason.  They of course are playing the Cardinals and if you dont think Paul Goldschmidt could double as a guard at Buckingham Palace then I don’t know what else to tell you. So yeah, do the math people, this means there is no Cubs afternoon game on Friday, June 23rd.  I am once again letting MLB know that I am available for hire to do their schedule. We also have four teams who insist on doing 6:40 PM start times tonight, and God forbid FD or DK decide to give us a full 14 game slate with those on them.  This means no Braves/Reds, no Twins/Tigers, no Pirates/Marlins and no Royals/Rays.  I know you are all very sad.   WEATHER Could be ugly, but its trending better than I thought. A 10 game slate tonight which includes the Angels in Coors Field and has weather issues in the following spots.  I am going to put High/Med/Low next to each game which designated the chances that the game is PPD. Mariners at Orioles – Med Mets at Phillies – Med Rangers at Yankees – Med/Low Brewers at Guardians – Low   I do not look at my Dashboard when I first go through deciding on the pitchers I want to look at.  I have a process where I just look at each game and quickly determine who I want to consider and who I do not.  So the fact that my 3 guys here are EXACTLY how they are on the Dashboard (as of Noon) is total coincidence. Then again, I am the guy who built the logic that goes into the ratings, so I guess it shouldn’t be that much of a shocker, should it? None of the SP’s to consider tonight have rain issues.   TOP PITCHER PATRICK SANDOVAL (DK: $6800 / FD: $8200) This is not a ‘leverage’ against Coors play.  I really think Sandoval in Colorado is a solid option and in fact, any lefty right now vs the Rockies is going to be worthy of usage unless Jurickson Profar decides to have his 3 game hot streak or guys like Montero, Montes or Doyle — which sounds like a cross between…...
