Wednesday's MLB Best Bets: Triston McKenzie, Jose Quintana, and the Strikeout Watch List

Wednesday's MLB Best Bets: Triston McKenzie, Jose Quintana, and the Strikeout Watch List

Obviously we're not going to brag about yesterday but we all saw what happened. The Strikeout Watch List did it's job. Plain and simple. One guy got scratched, one didn't have enough people from the list in the opposing lineup and one guy ended up walking around on the moon. That's all this is people. We're just looking for people that strike out a lot and betting on them to strike out. Feels easy if you ask me. Now today's slate is small so there is that but there are two guys that could get us where we need to go. I wish we had more targets but all we can do is play the slate we're given. We don't make the schedule. We already do enough. With that being said, if either one of these guys gets the lineup we want, we're going to space tonight. It's just a wait-and-see game at this point.

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.
