Wednesday's MLB Best Bets: Pablo Lopez, Luis Severino, and the Strikeout Watch List
We made it to hump day, and if we're being honest, I knew we would. That's just how we roll. To celebrate, we should gamble. Not just any type of gambling, though. Obviously, we'll have our regular bets, but I'm thinking we should try to ladder to the moon again. It's probably the most fun way to bet baseball there is. I thought about it for 10-15 minutes yesterday, and I couldn't think of a more fun way to bet on a baseball game. The only difference between today and the other days is the fact that we'll need our guys to go up and get their numbers. We're not asking for just some 5+ or 6+ night out of these guys. We'll need big boy nights, and given the opponents, I think we can get one from all three of these guys if the lineups are right.
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.
