Wednesday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?
Wednesday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?
It's crazy that it's already Wednesday. Anytime there's a Monday holiday I'm always amazed at how fast the week behind it goes. Like every time. You'd think I'd be smart enough to understand it's going to happen since there is one less day in the week but nope. I still marvel at the phenomenon like it's not basic math. With that being said, we're already to the day where we get multiple day baseball games to bet on. I call that day Wednesday and this one is no different than all the others. If we want, we can legitimately bet on baseball all day long beginning at 1:10pm ET. All we need to do is find targets that make sense. This is what I found in my morning search for action.
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.
