Sunday Dongers Club – September 1st, 2024

As you can see I didn’t get to finish the Saturday article — didnt’ actually intend to post it — something came up and by something I mean sitting on my ass watching College Football.

We move on to the final Sunday MLB DFS article of the season.  It’s always one that hits me a little more than others even though it’s not like suddenly my Sunday’s are going to be more enjoyable unless of course I go back to watching old Saints games instead.  But hey, I get to make fun of a chalky Kyle Pitts next week, so that’s nice.

 

WEATHER

Cardinals at Yankees – Should see a small late start here, game plays fine.

Cubs at Nationals – Slight chance of in game delay

 

Meanwhile back on the Diamond, America’s Pastime, the best game out there, the Baseball God’s did not get things aligned well enough for Brady Singer, Mr Sunday, to be pitching today, in fact, the pitching is kinda boring.  Manaea, Cobb, Cortes, Blach if you are on FanDuel.  No, really, Blach is pitching against the Orioles – that should go well.

Dylan Cease (DK: $10,000, FD: $10,300)

Run, do not walk, run, to the betting window and place something on the under.  The system series of all the system plays as a Friday blowout turned into a Saturday blowout in the opposite direction and after two games with 18 and 15 runs I think this one ends in about 1 hour and 56 minutes following a 1-0 win for the Padres.

YARN | Yeah, I'd like to bet a hundred bucks. | Family Guy ...

Bailey Ober (DK: $9500, FD: $9000)

They say that the safest places to be during a Lightning storm are where Lightning has already struck and also on the Golf course.  Okay, so they don’t actually say on the Golf course, but you never have to wait on the tee box during a Thunderstorm ya know.  Anyways, what does this have to do with Bailey Ober?  Dude.  Did you see his last start?  Seriously?

Jimmy Key, what is he like 45? - GIF - Imgur

Today he bounces back, and yes, this is another system play following the 15-0 beat down that Minnesota took like they were the Vikings in January.  Twins roll, Ober gets back on track.

THE SUNDAY SLEEPERS

  • Alex Cobb – I would really try to pair the top two guys ahead of going down here – the risk is big but he kinda stands out as someone who can pay off at htis price.
  • Mitch Spence

 

 

MINNESOTA TWINS

Royce Lewis, Matt Wallner, Carlos Santana, Max Kepler, Ryan Jeffers

Not many teams have had a worse week than the Twins have had and getting thumped 15-0 to the Blue Jays yesterday had to be rock bottom.  I doubt anyone will really trust them beyond thinking Yariel Rodriguez gives up his usual 4-5 ER here, which I think is a lock for the first 3 innings.  If anyone is going to do something today it’s gotta be Royce Lewis.
