Thursday's MLB Best Bets: Chad Kuhl, Merrill Kelly, and the Strikeout Watch List

It's Thursday and the MLB slate is light on Thursdays. That's just how Thursdays work. Still, we need a Strikeout Watch List. They make every day better. But before we get to that, let's talk MyOC Premium. We rolled that out yesterday and there were a ton of questions and maybe even a little anxiety. First off, I am doing the same amount of free articles as I ever was. So we're good. OC Premium is for people who want a little more. Think of it as extra stuff. Line moves, betting percentages, extra picks, etc. If that doesn't describe you, then don't do it. If you think that does describe you, then get in. It's that simple. Just know that nothing has changed on my end except for the fact that I have to write a few extra articles every week for the OC Premium people. I don't mind though. But as for the Strikeout Watch List, that's free. It has to be because it's for everyone. We need this.

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.
