Friday's MLB Best Bets: Dean Kremer, Mitch Keller, and the Strikeout Watch List
It's Friday and since the beginning of time, the best thing to do on a Friday is gamble. Everyone knows that. The thing is, we don't want to just do some regular gambling. We need to kick it up a notch. These little -110 moves aren't going to cut it on a Friday night. That's weekday stuff. What we need are moves that are all +200 or better. That's how you handle your business on a Friday. Lucky for us, I've already gone through the board and done a few mental simulations. Not an illegal amount, just enough to get us by. (Nobody is trying to work hard on a Friday.) What I found was glorious. We've got three different spots where just a few strikeouts could stuff some cash in our pockets for today's MLB games. We're talking ladders to the moon here people.
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.
