What is up, Fantasy Alarm family? Our MLB DFS Projections have flagged two standout strikeout plays tonight on ParlayPlay, headlined by the most anticipated pitching debut of the year. Built off season stats, current form, and matchup splits against lefties and righties, let's get into the picks. 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.

Logan Henderson MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Henderson has been nearly untouchable this season, opponents batting just .195 against him with a 32.0% strikeout rate through nine starts. His last outing produced seven strikeouts over 5.2 scoreless innings at San Francisco, and his lone previous look at Pittsburgh went for six strikeouts over five innings. Tonight's Pirates strike out against right-handers at 23.6%, setting up well for another strong total. That is the number. That is the play.

 

 

 

Tarik Skubal MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

Skubal makes his Dodgers debut tonight, days removed from the trade that ended a nine-year run in Detroit, carrying a 2.79 ERA and 10.8 K/9 into his first start at Wrigley Field. His last outing as a Tiger was a shutout into the seventh inning with his 1,000th career strikeout before the bullpen let a 7-0 lead slip away. Against the Cubs specifically, he owns 18 strikeouts across three career starts. Do not overthink it.
