Friday's MLB Best Bets: Shane Baz, Hunter Greene, and the Strikeout Watch List
Something really bad happened last night. We all saw it. The NBA season came to an abrupt end and now all we have is MLB and the last few NHL games. Then it's a long summer of just waiting for meaningful football. Instead of getting sad, I think we should just push on. Anytime something really bad happens to me, I've found that gambling takes the pain away. This works for anything, especially sports coming to an end. Lucky for us it's Friday and there's a full slate of baseball. We can just pound that and then move on into the weekend. By the time Monday rolls around, we'll forget basketball even existed. We're going to be okay. I can feel it.
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.
