Payton Tolle MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Tolle will become the youngest pitcher to start Game 1 of a postseason series for the Red Sox in 108 years, chosen over veteran ace Sonny Gray specifically for his power stuff. He already blanked this exact Yankees lineup on one hit with seven strikeouts over seven innings earlier this season. New York's 24.1 percent strikeout rate against left-handed pitching is a fair matchup for a pitcher with his track record against these Yankees. That combination of a proven prior performance and a fair matchup gives him a clear path to clearing this number. That is the number. 

Cam Schlittler MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

Schlittler enters as the AL Cy Young favorite, leading the league with a 1.95 ERA and going 14-6 across 33 starts, and the Walpole native faces his hometown Red Sox in the biggest start of his career. He sent Boston home last October with an electric Game 3 performance. Boston's strikeout rate against right-handed pitching has climbed to 28.1 percent over the last two weeks, a strong number for a pitcher missing bats at an elite level all season.
