Wednesday's MLB Best Bets: Josiah Gray, Sean Manaea, and the Strikeout Watch List
It's hump day. I don't need to tell you that since you all have access to calendars and Google but I'm just saying. The only way to get through the middle of the week is by gambling. It's been this way since I was a kid and it will be that way when I croak. It's just the way it is. Wednesdays are just tough but if you get through them, you get to Thursday which has football. After that, we're on to Friday which kicks off a glorious weekend. Basically, all I'm saying is we just have to get through today and we're home. That feels pretty easy. Lucky for us, we've got the Strikeout Watch List to lean on. There's no better day to ladder to the moon than on a Wednesday. That's a scientific fact. Everyone knows that.
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.
