Thursday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?

Thursday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?

It's time to look for ladders again. Yesterday we didn't get enough whiffers in the Orioles or Blue Jays lineups to make a move but we did see enough in the Phillies order. Unfortunately, Martin Perez pulled a Zimmerman and didn't reach five strikeouts. He had four in the first four innings but couldn't post another in any of the following three innings. That's such a dirty move. Still, we're on the right track with this people. Once we hit one today, we'll be positive even when we consider yesterday's loss. That's just how math as it relates to positive moneylines works. Lucky for us, there are a few day spots to be on the lookout for. We may just take a ladder to the moon today people.

We need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups. If that happens, get ready to climb a ladder.
