Sunday's MLB Best Bets: Alex Cobb, Mitch Keller, and the Strikeout Watch List
Happy Father's Day people. It's definitely a big day for dads. Probably the biggest. Father's Day means a lot of things to a lot of people. For me it means gambling. And coaching U10 girls' soccer tournaments. Both are separate obviously. Today's soccer tournament slate is pretty simple. One game at 11:30 and we're done. We win (and get a loss from another team) and we're champions. Does it feel good? Of course. But what feels even better is the fact that we'll be done before almost all of the MLB games start. That's huge. That means I'm gambling freely and not putting in bets from the port o potty's. Free at last. Obviously this calls for a strikeout watch list so I went ahead and prepared one. All we need to do is watch for lineups and if we get enough guys in one, we ladder to the moon. It's going to be a happy Father's Day indeed!
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.
