Joey Cantillo ParlayPlay MLB Picks Today, 9/7: Baseball Projections + More

Monday's top two ParlayPlay plays both go over, with a Cleveland lefty attacking the best matchup number on the board and the American League's strikeout leader facing baseball's worst team. 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.

Joey Cantillo MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Cantillo carries a 9-8 record and 3.81 ERA with 151 strikeouts across 141.2 innings, a 9.6 K/9 pace among the better marks in the American League. His command issues have led to traffic and elevated pitch counts, meaning he faces plenty of hitters over a full start. Baltimore's 28.0 percent strikeout rate against left-handed pitching for the season has climbed to 29.4 percent over the last two weeks, the best matchup number on the entire board. That combination of elevated batters faced and an elite, trending-hotter opponent gives him a clear path to clearing this number. That is the number. That is the play.

Dylan Cease MLB ParlayPlay Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

Cease leads the American League with 221 strikeouts across 156.1 innings, backing a 10-5 record and a 2.25 ERA with just a .176 opponents' batting average. He already faced Oakland once this season, striking out 12 over 5.1 innings. Oakland's 21.4 percent strikeout rate against right-handed pitching for the season has climbed to 23.6 percent over the last two weeks, a fair matchup for a pitcher this dominant. Do not overthink it.
