Friday's MLB Best Bets: Shane McClanahan, Aaron Ashby, and the Strikeout Watch List

The board is ugly today people but that won't stop us from doing damage. The board was ugly yesterday and our ladders still produced a +200 win on Roansy Contreras. We don't have to hit a high percentage when you're taking ladders to the moon here people. We walked with a profit yesterday and went 1-1. That's what living is all about people. But today is a new day so we need new action. That's just how new days work. Lucky for us, I found a few spots where we have known whiffers against guys that could use a boost from a ladder. We really just need to cash one of these but if we cash all of them, we're going to the moon.

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.
