Handicapper John Hyslop looks at today's MLB schedule and tries to figure out who we should look to bet on for the Friday slate of games.
ANALYSIS

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

Just a heads up, this article is staying around. Every Monday through Friday you're going to see me post a link to it on Twitter. After yesterday, it's an absolute must. Technically we only got five whiffers in the Reds lineup but all three pitchers mentioned went over their strikeout number. Ladders went all the way to the moon and I'm pretty sure there could be a severe labor shortage today due to that. People don't need jobs (actually they do) when they have pockets full of cash because of this type of intel. Just wait for lineups to released and then pounce. It's so easy.

We need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups. Don't just put these in like they're bets right now. Seriously wait until you see a lineup. None of these dudes are strikeout guys so they will need help.
