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. Let us get into the picks.

Bryce Miller MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Miller sits at 4-2 with a 1.71 ERA and an AL-best 12.4 K:BB ratio. His last start was as good as it gets: seven innings, eight strikeouts, and a no-hit bid that lasted into the seventh in a 1-0 win over the Angels.

He gets Miami on the road tonight, and even against a lineup that does not strike out much, his stuff has been too sharp lately to bet against. That is the number. That is the play.

Drew Rasmussen MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Rasmussen is 7-4 with a 2.78 ERA and rode a 0.82 ERA through five June starts before a rare rough outing at Houston his last time out.

Tonight, he gets the Yankees at home, a lineup he has already shut down twice this season, and New York is striking out at a 31.2 percent clip over its last 14 games. Do not overthink it.
