Payton Tolle ParlayPlay MLB Picks Today, 9/22: Baseball Projections + More

Tuesday's top two ParlayPlay plays both go over, with a rookie sensation lining up for a potential postseason start and the Twins' strikeout leader facing an injury-ravaged Giants lineup. 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.

Payton Tolle MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Tolle struck out 12 over six innings in his last start against Kansas City, his third double-digit strikeout outing of the season, and he carries a 2.44 ERA over his last eight starts. Boston has intentionally lined up its rotation with Tolle, Sonny Gray, and Ranger Suarez in this series to build in rest ahead of the Wild Card Series. His own swing-and-miss dominance has overridden modest matchups all season, including 18 strikeouts across two starts against the Yankees. That combination of elite recent form and a big-stage setup gives him a real path to clearing this number. That is the number. That is the play.

Taj Bradley MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Bradley has been a career-best story for Minnesota, backing an 11-6 record and 3.81 ERA with 199 strikeouts across 172.1 innings, and he threw the first immaculate inning in franchise history on August 25. San Francisco is dealing with a wave of injuries to key hitters, and the Giants' strikeout rate against right-handed pitching has climbed to an elite 31.4 percent over the last two weeks, the best matchup number on the entire board. Do not overthink it.
