Thursday's MLB Best Bets: Kyle Wright, Justin Steele, and the Strikeout Watch List

At some point, FanDuel is going to ban this article. We climbing way too high on their ladders. Someone could get hurt. Mainly them. But until they do, we'll keep climbing. If I've said it once, I've said it 1000 times. The ladders are the best way to bet. I can't believe every book on the planet hasn't copied FanDuel when it comes to these. Sure it's fun to pick off the books left and right with -110 moves but after a while, we need more. We need to get jacked up out here. It's summertime. There's just nothing like a Keegan Thompson 7+ (+750) strikeout night (happened last night nbd). That's just the way it is. I think we can find these every day (probably) if we just have a watch list going.

Remember, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups when they are released. If that happens, we can ladder these guys to the moon. Maybe further. If you don't see at least five guys in any of these lineups, abort mission. Leave the ladder there and move on to the next. Climbing a broken ladder just isn't smart.
