Shohei Ohtani Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 6.5 Strikeouts

Shohei Ohtani is a premier target for strikeout upside on any slate. He is currently missing bats at a 29.0% clip and has cleared this 6.5 line in 4 of 6 starts. Our Fantasy Baseball Projections show a high-ceiling performance for the Dodgers' star against a Giants team he knows well. Ohtani’s ability to find another gear in high-leverage spots makes him a cornerstone for any Sleeper entry today.

 

 

 

Parker Messick Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 6.5 Strikeouts

Parker Messick is another elite whiff-generator to keep an eye on today. Messick has a dominant 9.8 K/9 and is facing an Angels team that struggles significantly against left-handed pitching. According to our latest Fantasy Baseball Projections, Messick’s high strikeout floor makes the "More than" 6.5 a strong statistical choice. If he can keep his pitch count under control, he should have a productive outing against this Angels lineup.
