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

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

Yesterday was just special. Obviously it all started with a special Sunday edition of this article but I can't take credit. It was a combination of the pitchers listed and the opposing managers putting the right guys in the lineups. It was pure magic even though it didn't start well. Steven Matz legit hurt himself trying to stuff cash into our pockets. We had the weird vibes people on Twitter chirping but the cream always rises to the top. Everyone knows that. Both Tony Gonsolin and Sandy Alcantara showed what this article is all about by punching out guys left and right. Both are now in the Slop Circle of Trust as a result.

Today we don't have a ton of MLB but we have enough. Nothing early so we may need to find some soccer to alleviate the daytime shakes but it is what it is. We've done wilder things. After sifting through all the action, it looks like we have an attack surface. Pray for the books today people. They will need all the help they can get.

Remember, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups when they are released. If that happens, get ready to fire away. Be somebody today.
