Wednesday's MLB Best Bets: Yusei Kikuchi, Joe Ryan, and the Strikeout Watch List

Do you know what we need today? Ladders to the moon. But here's the thing about ladders. They don't all go to the moon. In the pitcher strikeout game, we need the right lineups. Like Braxton Garrett last night. He was the only guy on the Strikeout Watch List to end up with at least five strikeout guys in the opposing lineup. The thing is, one of them was Aristides Aquino who the Reds snuck in late in the day. He wasn't even on the Strikeout Watch List since he hasn't played since June 12th even though he is a 46% strikeout guy on the season. The point is, these managers are dirty, dirty people who could legit put anyone in the lineups every day. We need to be paying attention because the books don't even know it's coming half the time. Lucky for us, they play baseball every day so we always have a chance to get ours.

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. Also, don't forget to be somebody today.
