Tuesday's MLB Best Bets: Max Fried, Tony Gonsolin, and the Strikeout Watch List
The Strikeout Watch List got saved yesterday by Jeffrey Springs and if we're being honest, that's what it's all about. There's nothing like thinking you're about to take a hit and then having a guy come in and completely turn things around. It's just special. We can hope for more of the same today since we've got another couple of guys who could easily shoot the moon. They could also bust which makes it just as fun. The thing is, there is no chance in hell I would take either one of these guys to go under their strikeout number. That would be dumb. So since that's the case, we should just go over it. Not just any over though, ladder to the moon over. Feels right.
Remember, we need to see AT LEAST five of these batters in these lineups when they are released. If that happens, get your space suit on. 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.
* 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.
