The Dongers Club – September 3rd

... brought to you by sdchickens

Tuesday, September 3rd

12 Games tonight for the MAIN slates


WEATHER

Looks like we have no issues!

 

Max Scherzer

The Nationals actually have a very solid position right now in terms of their playoff chase and so one could think that they fall into the “dont push the SP too far” category and I would understand that.  But Max is getting ramped back up off his back injury and should be clear to throw 100+ tonight.  Lean him in a game the Nationals win.

Jack Flaherty

Speaking of not going 100 pitches, the Cardinals refuse to let Jack go 100 it seems, but the spot against the Giants who are mailing it in now (finally) is solid.

Mitch Keller

Happy Mitch Keller day, he gets a AAA like team to dominate at home.  The Keller profile is very tempting but he has struggled at times.  I like him to break out big time tonight.

Mike Montgomery / Julio Urias

Both of these guys are the cheap value SP2’s on DraftKings to consider taking flyers on.  Urias is obviously much better and has a great match-up but should be very limited tonight.  If you just want some positive SP2 points, consider him.

 

 

Every team I like tonight has a SS that is a near top of the list in terms of good plays.  So don’t over think that and take one you love, but Francisco Lindor has the best of all spots.

STACK OF THE DAY

CLEVELAND … Focus on top of the order.

Motivation for teams really matters now, and it’s more about when and if they pull guys and how they manage their bullpens.  Strong winds out to right field in Progressive tonight and Dylan horrible first inning Cease is on the mound for Chicago.  Indians by 50.

 

OTHER TEAMS TO TARGET

SAN DIEGO … Good value here with them, Naylor playing well.

Chase Field is back to being Chase Field it appears and the Padres/D’Backs always have trouble getting each other out.  I love San Diego to drop about 10 runs tonight and would start with them and Cleveland in your main GPP lineup.

KANSAS CITY … Ride Mondesi.

They were the best team in baseball DFS last September offensively and I expect w/ Mondesi back they continue that this year as well when they get shitty pitching.  Insert Daniel Norris.

 

SNEAKY STACK OF THE DAY

OAKLAND 

They fly under radar and Jaime Barria stinks vs RH bats.  Load up Chapman/Davis.
