Saturday's MLB Best Bets: Adrian Sampson, Lucas Giolito, and the Strikeout Watch List

Losses don't count on Saturdays which means we need to swing for the fence. That's just how this game we play works. The thing is, we can't just be up there swinging at everything like Miguel Tejada. That's just crazy. Reckless even. No, what I'm talking about is waiting for a meatball and just tattooing it (figuratively). The ladder options at FanDuel make the whole thing possible. All we have to do is find a couple of guys that are in good spots to go way over their strikeout lines. We're only talking about one or two more here but the payouts are way better. Like +240 on one of them. Lucky for us, I've already gone through and checked every MLB game today multiple times since I woke up this morning. Thankfully, there are a couple of guys that along with the right lineup, could get us to the moon. What a world we live in.

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.
