Tatsuya Imai MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Tatsuya Imai on the Higher at plus money is the headline play on our Chalkboard card today, and the timing could not be better. One start removed from the worst outing of his rookie season, Imai responded with a career-best 11 strikeouts and zero walks in a win over the Cleveland Guardians. That is the pitcher the Astros signed to a three-year deal, the one who tossed six no-hit innings against Texas in May. The swing-and-miss stuff has been there all year, anchored by a 26.5% strikeout rate and a 10.5 K/9, with the only question being his command from start to start. Tonight, he draws a Detroit lineup carrying a 23.1% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching on the season and 24.6% over the last two weeks, a favorable matchup for a power arm riding momentum. Getting the Higher at plus money on a pitcher fresh off 11 punchouts is exactly the value our MLB DFS Projections target. Get it in.

Bryce Miller MLB Chalkboard Fantasy Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Bryce Miller on the Higher is the second leg of our premium Chalkboard card today, and he has been one of the best stories in baseball since returning from injury. Miller owns a 1.58 ERA with 43 strikeouts and a career-best 30.5% strikeout rate, and his stuff has graded out as the best of his career by his own admission. His last start was a six-inning, one-hit, nine-strikeout shutout effort against Detroit, and his elite contact suppression numbers back up the dominance. Tonight, he faces a Pittsburgh lineup carrying a 22.4% strikeout rate against right-handed pitching, a matchup that supports his volume now that he is fully stretched out and pitching on his own rather than in a tandem. Our MLB DFS Projections favor the Higher comfortably. Lock it in.
