Parker Messick MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Parker Messick on the Higher is the headline play on our Chalkboard card today, and he has been the best rookie in the American League this season. Messick is 7-3 with a 2.70 ERA, a 1.096 WHIP, and 91 strikeouts, and he just set a career high with 10 strikeouts over 7.2 innings against the White Sox, touching 97.6 mph with his fastball in the process. His six-pitch mix and elite command make him a nightmare for opposing lineups. Tonight, he draws Texas, a lineup that has whiffed at a 26.8% clip against left-handed pitching over the last two weeks, well above their season-long mark. That is a premium matchup for a polished lefty riding a 10-strikeout performance. Our MLB DFS Projections are all in on the Higher. Get it in.

Sean Burke MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Sean Burke on the Higher is the second leg of our premium Chalkboard card today, and he is riding a genuine strikeout streak. Burke is 5-4 with an ERA in the high-3.00s, and he has recorded at least five strikeouts in seven consecutive starts. His most recent outing was a six-strikeout effort over 6.1 innings to outduel Parker Messick in a 2-1 White Sox win. The swing-and-miss stuff has been steady all year, and he has the volume to clear this number reliably. Tonight, he draws Baltimore, a lineup that has whiffed at a 29.1% clip against right-handed pitching over the last two weeks, one of the highest marks in baseball over that span. A pitcher on a seven-start strikeout streak against a lineup expanding the zone at that rate is exactly the spot our MLB DFS Projections target. Lock it in.
