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

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

I don't know if you saw the MLB schedule today but it's loaded. I didn't even expect it for whatever reason even though this is the normal amount of games for a Tuesday. That's a sign people. Anytime you get pleasantly surprised by a normal slate of games, it's a sign. That's just how pleasant surprises work. We've got 15 games on the slate here. That means there has to be a couple rando pitchers going that only an idiot would take. What people forget is the books underestimate idiots all the time. We win all the time. My favorite thing to do after I win one of these is say to myself, "who's an idiot now?" Try it, you'll like it.

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.
