Paul Skenes Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 6.5 Strikeouts

Paul Skenes remains a premier target for strikeout upside on today's board. He is currently missing bats at an elite clip with a 30.3 percent strikeout rate and a steady 10.1 K/9. Our Fantasy Baseball Projections show another high-ceiling performance for Skenes against a Phillies team that can struggle with elite heat. His ability to maintain his stuff deep into games provides him with the necessary volume to clear this bar, making him a cornerstone for any Sleeper entry today.

Gavin Williams Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 7.5 Strikeouts

Gavin Williams is another elite whiff-generator to keep an eye on today. Williams has a dominant 10.7 K/9 and is facing a Reds team that currently ranks as the eighth-most frequent strikeout target in the majors. According to our latest Fantasy Baseball Projections, Williams’ high strikeout floor makes the "More than" 7.5 a strong statistical choice. If he can keep his pitch count under control, he should have a productive afternoon against this Cincinnati lineup.
