Monday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?
Monday Early MLB Looks: What Starting Pitchers Should Be on Today's Strikeout Watch?
The one thing I know of that helps on Mondays is gambling. Literally 100% effective. The issue today is we only have six MLB games on the schedule and the weather guy I follow said we could lose to rain. That's not ideal but not gambling isn't ideal either so that's not an option. The solution, attack the board like it's a normal day. Pretend that there are 100 MLB games tonight and we're flushed with action because of it. It's the only way. Lucky for us, there are a few pitchers with matchups to watch for so that will help. All we have to do is catch one of these teams slipping with a strikeout-heavy lineup and we're taking ladders all the way to the moon. I can't think of a better way to spend a Monday.
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.
