Saturday's MLB Best Bets: Edward Cabrera, Luis Garcia, and the Strikeout Watch List

A lot of people are going to say it's crazy to make a Strikeout Watch List on a Saturday with football but my question is, is it? I actually think it's crazy to NOT make a Strikeout Watch List on a Saturday with football. Obviously, the MLB bets we make from now on are going to be "background bets" but what's wrong with background bets? Short answer, nothing. It's going to be amazing watching Ohio State and Notre Dame tonight while also having guys in the background sitting guys down left and right. That's called living the dream people. All we need is the right lineups and we should end up on the moon with one of these guys. There are only two today but that just means we only have to hit one of them to walk away with cash. Feels easy.

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.
