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

It's pretty much summer now people. Memorial Day is behind us. The NBA is down to two teams. The NHL is down to just four squads. We're looking at pretty much MLB only days real soon. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's just MLB is a different vibe. Nice and slow. I call it "action without all the action". Honestly, it's a great time to reset our brains since it's only for a couple months. We can make it. We've done it before and we can do it again. I'm pretty confident. We'll be betting preseason NFL in no time. The smart thing to do is lean into every slate so when the NBA and NHL call it quits for the year, we're already battle tested. Trust me, it's the right thing to do. Here are a few lineups to be looking out for today.

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.
