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

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

Saturdays are in contention for the best days of the week. Everyone knows that. We get to break out of our routines and kick back a little which is key. The thing is, we're still gambling so we don't want to break out of the routine too much. Obviously, losses don't count on Saturdays but we're still not trying to lose. The reason I'm saying that is because this is where the watch list comes into play.

Since things are getting wild if we are doing our Saturdays correctly, things in the gambling world can get overlooked. We need a fast, simple way to know if a pitcher strikeout prop is a "go" or not. We just do. Luckily for us, I got up early today and put one together for myself. Just like back in high school, whoever wants to copy is more than welcome. People helping people.

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.
