Nolan McLean Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 6.5 Strikeouts

Nolan McLean is a premier target for strikeout upside on any slate. He is currently missing bats at an elite clip with a 32.6 percent strikeout rate and an 11.3 K/9. Our Fantasy Baseball Projections show a high-ceiling performance for McLean against a Tigers lineup that can struggle with high-velocity righties. Detroit currently ranks 14th in the majors as a strikeout target, and McLean has already cleared his strikeout total in 5 of 8 starts this season. His ability to find another gear in high-leverage spots makes him a cornerstone for any Sleeper entry today.

Chris Sale Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 6.5 Strikeouts

Chris Sale is another elite whiff-generator to keep an eye on today. Sale has a dominant 10.3 K/9 and a 29.3 percent strikeout rate. Even with the Cubs showcasing a disciplined 21.0 percent strikeout rate against southpaws, Sale’s high strikeout floor makes the "More than" 6.5 a strong statistical choice. He has hit the Over on this total in 5 of 8 starts, and according to our latest Fantasy Baseball Projections, he should have no trouble navigating this Chicago lineup. Sale is pitching with the kind of dominance that often renders matchup data irrelevant, making him a top-tier choice for your card today.
