Friday's MLB Best Bets: George Kirby, Tyler Mahle, and the Strikeout Watch List

This article was late today. Was it because I was up late last night celebrating a Just the Tip walk-off win? No. That had nothing to do with it. The real reason is the fact that the books are sharp now. I don't know if they fired everyone they had working there before or what, but somehow, some way, they've become tough to beat in the strikeout market. I legit had to go through the lines four times before finding multiple plays that have no chance of losing. That's crazy. So since that was hard, finding ladders to the moon was even harder. Lucky for us, I didn't quit (much like the Tips last night). I grinded and clawed with my fingernails until I found two spots that are pretty ripe for ladders. It won't be as easy as it normally is, but I think we land on the moon somehow with one of these.

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.
