Cristopher Sanchez MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

Sanchez's changeup is generating a 42.7% whiff rate this season, one of the nastiest single pitches in the league, and his last start produced 11 strikeouts over six scoreless innings against Baltimore. Tonight he gets a Washington lineup missing James Wood, its 30-homer anchor, on the injured list. The Nationals strike out against lefties at 23.6% this season, so that's the play.

Dylan Cease MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

A 36.2% strikeout rate and 13.1 K/9 make Cease the single best bat-missing arm on the board, and even his last start's loss still produced 10 strikeouts over 4.2 innings against Texas. Tonight he gets the Cubs at Wrigley, and Chicago strikes out against right-handers at a fair 21.7% clip. Do not overthink it.
