Shane McClanahan Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 5.5 Strikeouts

Shane McClanahan is a premier target for strikeout upside on today's board. He is missing bats at a 25.8 percent clip and draws a Baltimore Orioles lineup that ranks fifth in the majors as a strikeout target against southpaws. Pitch count is the only real concern for McClanahan as the Rays continue to be extremely cautious with his workload, which is why he has cleared this mark in just two of eight starts. However, our Fantasy Baseball Projections show a high-ceiling performance for McClanahan today, and if he stays efficient, he provides a massive ceiling for any Sleeper entry today.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto Sleeper Fantasy MLB Pick: More than 6.5 Strikeouts

Yoshinobu Yamamoto presents a strong opportunity to target a starter in a consistent groove. Yamamoto maintains a 24.6 percent strikeout rate and an 8.6 K/9, and he faces a Padres lineup that has been prone to whiffs recently, striking out at a 25.9 percent clip in their last 14 games. His ability to induce swing-and-miss deep in counts makes the "More than" 6.5 a high-probability selection based on our latest Fantasy Baseball Projections.
