Cade Cavalli ParlayPlay MLB Picks Today, 8/24: Baseball Projections + More

Monday's top two ParlayPlay plays both feature pitchers enjoying dominant seasons: a Nationals ace coming off a scoreless outing and a comeback story riding one of the best K/9 marks in the league. Our MLB DFS Projections have both arms flagged as strong plays tonight. For a deeper look at how tonight's arms project pitch by pitch, check out our MLB DFS Pitcher Projections, and line-shop today's strikeout numbers with our MLB Odds Finder before you build your board.

Cade Cavalli MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Cavalli tossed six scoreless innings against the Rangers in his last start, allowing only three hits in one of the stronger outings of his season. His 162 strikeouts and 3.22 ERA have established him as a legitimate frontline arm for a Nationals team still chasing a playoff berth. Colorado's 22.0 percent strikeout rate against right-handed pitching is a solid matchup for a pitcher running a 27.0 percent strikeout rate. That combination of recent dominance and a favorable strikeout environment gives him a real path to clearing this number. That is the number. That is the play.

Zack Wheeler MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

Wheeler continues to author one of the best comeback stories in the sport, backing a 2.92 ERA and 144 strikeouts across 120.1 innings in his return from thoracic outlet surgery. His 10.8 K/9 and 30.4 percent strikeout rate both rank among the National League's best marks this season. Seattle's 22.2 percent strikeout rate against right-handed pitching is a workable matchup for a pitcher who has missed bats at an elite level all year regardless of opponent. Do not overthink it.
