Sunday's MLB Best Bets: Zach Thompson, Alek Manoah, and the Strikeout Watch List

Sunday's MLB Best Bets: Zach Thompson, Alek Manoah, and the Strikeout Watch List

I'm just going to say it. We need guys that can get us to the moon today. I'm not talking about guys that are just going to go over their standard line. I'm talking about over achievers. Guys that are like "3.5? I think I can give you six!" Those are the type of guys that will climb a ladder for us at FanDuel. It's not easy to find guys like that and if we're being honest, sometimes they need a little boost from the other team's manager. These managers have whiff guys at their disposal, we just need them to trot them out there. If we get enough whiff guys in the opposing lineups, we can climb ladders all the way to space. We've done it before. Lucky for us, I found three guys that are on the verge of greatness today. All they need is the right opposing lineup and we can start climbing. This could be the greatest day in gambling history.

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.

*Also, the lines listed here are absolute tops of the ladder. You don't have to go this high if you don't want to but there's no promise that you'll feel great about stopping short when these guys cover.
