Dylan Cease MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

A 36.2% strikeout rate and 13.1 K/9 make Cease the single best bat-missing arm on today's board. His last start was a loss on the scoreboard, but he still struck out 10 over 4.2 innings against Texas. Tonight, Cease gets the Cubs at Wrigley, and Chicago strikes out against right-handers at a fair 21.7% clip.

Cristopher Sanchez MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

Sanchez's changeup is generating a video-game 42.7% whiff rate this season, and his last start produced 11 strikeouts over six scoreless innings against Baltimore. This evening, Sanchez faces a Washington lineup missing its 30-homer anchor, James Wood, on the injured list. The Nationals strike out against lefties at 23.6% this season, and a thinned-out order only helps. Lock it in.
