Saturday's MLB Best Bets: Kyle Gibson, Dustin May, and the Strikeout Watch List
I know what you're thinking. Why are we talking about baseball when there's football on our televisions? That's a great question and I have a great answer. Because it's still gambling even if it's baseball. These guys got us through a sports drought over the summer and there's no chance in hell I'm forgetting them now. No man left behind. Band of Brothers. You should rent it sometime. We've got three guys that qualify today given opponent and none of them will interfere with the daytime football schedule. That's something. I wish we had better prices for these guys but it is what it is. The books know what time it is at this point of the season so finding mistakes is just hard. We'll still look but +340 moon trips will probably be few and far between. We'll be fine though, I promise.
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.
