Be sure to track all our movements on the Fantasy Alarm Bet Tracker to see our full board of expert daily picks.

Bryan Woo Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: Less than 5.5 Strikeouts

Bryan Woo presents a tactical opportunity to fade a recent statistical outlier. While he is coming off a 9-strikeout gem against the Braves, he has recorded three or fewer strikeouts in 4 of his previous 5 starts. Woo currently maintains a 20.3% strikeout rate and a 7.3 K/9, metrics that suggest he struggles to find high punchout volumes against disciplined lineups. He faces a Houston Astros team today that excels at making contact and limiting K's, making the "Less than" 5.5 a high-probability selection based on our MLB DFS Projections.

Paul Skenes Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 7.5 Strikeouts

Paul Skenes remains a premier target for strikeout upside according to our latest MLB DFS Projections. Skenes is missing bats at an elite clip with a 28.9% strikeout rate and a 9.9 K/9. Today he draws the Colorado Rockies, a lineup that ranks as the #5 strikeout target in the majors against righties (24.4% K-rate). Skenes’s ability to maintain elite velocity and command deep into games provides him with the necessary volume to clear this high bar. When looking for the best strikeout ceiling on the board, Skenes is a cornerstone for any Sleeper entry.
