Cam Schlittler MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Cam Schlittler on the Higher is the headline play on our Chalkboard card today, and he has a legitimate case as the best pitcher in the American League this season. Schlittler is 7-3 with a 1.82 ERA, and the Yankees are 45-28 behind him this season. He has delivered six quality starts in his past seven outings, and over his last six starts specifically, he posted a 0.70 ERA and 0.81 WHIP to go with a 38:10 K:BB across 38.1 innings. That kind of strikeout-to-walk efficiency over a sustained stretch is the profile of a true Cy Young frontrunner. Tonight, he faces Cincinnati at Yankee Stadium, and our tracking data has the Reds running a 24.3% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching over the last two weeks. With the short porch in right field putting extra pressure on Cincinnati hitters to be selective, Schlittler's swing-and-miss arsenal should have a clean path to clear 6.5. Our MLB DFS Projections favor the Higher comfortably. Get it in.

Jacob Misiorowski MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Higher than 8.5 Strikeouts

There is no stronger Higher on the board today than Jacob Misiorowski. He entered his most recent start with the major league lead in ERA, strikeouts, FIP, and WHIP, the kind of season that would have him as the runaway Cy Young winner if the year ended right now. Then he went out and threw a 15-strikeout, one-hit, complete-game shutout against the Phillies, the highest game score recorded by any pitcher since 2017. That was not an outlier performance. It capped off an eight-start stretch in which he allowed two runs total across 54.1 innings while holding hitters to a .105 average and striking out 80 against just nine walks. His 37.8% whiff rate ranks in the 98th percentile of all of baseball, and opponents are hitting a combined .151 against him, the lowest mark against any pitcher in the sport. Tonight's Atlanta lineup carries a 24.6% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching over the last 14 days per our tracking data. This is the single best Higher on the entire slate. Our MLB DFS Projections are all in.
