Tuesday's MLB Best Bets: Keegan Thompson, Spenser Watkins, and the Strikeout Watch List
So everybody is saying that all you have to do each day is wait for this article to come out and just blindly bet the standard over for each guy on the list. Obviously, that sounds crazy but I get why they say that. I mean, you would be 8-0 in the last two days just doing that which feels pretty good. The issue I have is that this thing you're reading right now is not a "standard number" article. This is a ladder list. People don't get to the moon betting standard numbers. Everyone knows that. We want to look at the standard number and say "nope, that's a little too low. I think he can give us a couple more." So keep that in mind when you're bragging about this thing going 8-0 over the last two days. As crazy as it sounds, we're better than that. Even though it's hard to be better than 8-0 over the last two days, we still are. Somehow.
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.
