Friday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?
Today is going to be so good. I woke up feeling like a damn champion today. I have no idea why either. It just happened. Breakfast was good, coffee was hot, kids went off to school with minimal nonsense. Things were just good. Then I saw today's MLB board. It's literally what dreams are made of. It's the kind of board you immediately start thinking about watch lists. I want to see lineups at this point because if we see what we want, today will be the greatest day in gambling history.
* One note, I'm only including the Cubs' game because it's an afternoon tilt. I'm not saying we're not getting five of those guys in the lineup, I'm just saying I'm not sure about the pitcher and price. They only sent three guys yesterday and Libertore didn't even come close to six Ks. Still, if we see five of them I think the Lizard King will find a way to get us home.
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.
