Handicapper John Hyslop provides an early look into today's scheduled MLB starting pitchers and lineups and provides us a few names to look out for on Thursday's betting slate.
ANALYSIS

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

We had one guy see at least five whiffers yesterday and not get home for us while the other guy only saw four so we couldn't play him. I don't want to get ahead of myself here but I believe that makes us due. If you know anything about anything, you know that bettors that are due are the most dangerous type of bettors there are. It's science. Here's the thing about today. Every one of these guys on this list will need all the help they can get from the opposition. They just aren't strikeout guys. Still, with the right batter in the batter's box, they can easily become guys that can at least reach five or six. That's why they are on today's watch list.

Remember, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups. If that happens, get ready to climb a ladder. Be somebody today.
