Wednesday's MLB Best Bets: Trevor Rogers, Glenn Otto, and the Strikeout Watch List
Obviously, I'd never brag about the strikeout list being the greatest gambling invention ever, so I'm not even going to bring up what happened yesterday. We all saw it. We all saw two of the guys from the list get at least five guys in the opposing team's lineup. Ian Anderson may have dropped the bag, but Jose Quintana cashed the 6+ (+250 NBD) move. I'm telling you, all we have to do is sit back and watch for lineups. If we see five or more strikeout guys starting, we ladder to the moon. Quintana actually struck out seven guys last night, so the extreme psychopaths that went that high were rewarded. I don't even know what the number was, but I bet it was over +500 (NBD). The best part is today is a new day with new ladders. All we have to do is wait for lineups.
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. If we don't see at least five of these names in each lineup, walk away. We'll find something better. Don't forget to be somebody today.
