Thursday's MLB Best Bets: Zach Logue, Jacob deGrom, and the Strikeout Watch List

It's Thursday and we need to gamble. Things are happening, games are being played and at the end of the day, we need action. Plus, many people think Thursday is the gateway to the weekend so there's that too. Nobody wants to start the weekend off badly. The issue today is the fact that the MLB slate is not great. It's actually bad. Real bad. But, we're still going to need to get some action in as not gambling just isn't an option. Lucky for us, I've waded in the sewage that is today's slate determined to find a ladder to climb. There's something wrong with every single one of them but still, I think we may be able to reach the moon with a broken ladder. I'm a dreamer. Always optimistic. I'm just saying, be careful on these things today.

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.
