Shane Baz MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Lower than 4.5 Strikeouts

Shane Baz is a prime target for a strategic fade on today's board. While he features high-end velocity, his 18.4 percent strikeout rate indicates he is still adjusting his pitch economy. Today, he faces a Tampa Bay Rays unit that excels at making contact, striking out at a low 19.2 percent rate on the full season and a minuscule 18.1 percent over the last two weeks. Our MLB DFS Projections suggest a low-whiff environment for this matchup, making the Lower than 4.5 a premium choice for your Chalkboard MLB Picks.

Andrew Abbott MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Lower than 4.5 Strikeouts

We are also identifying significant value on Andrew Abbott as a top choice for your card today. Abbott carries a modest 15.6 percent strikeout rate and a 6.1 K/9, and he has stayed Lower than this line in 7 of 10 starts this season. He faces a Philadelphia Phillies lineup that, despite a recent uptick in whiffs, will test Abbott's pitch efficiency. Our current MLB DFS Projections favor a heavy contact outing, meaning he is highly likely to fall short of five punchouts.
