Gerrit Cole MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Gerrit Cole is a premier addition to your card tonight as he continues to build up his stamina in the Yankees' rotation. While he split his initial two games with one Higher and one Lower against tonight's 5.5 threshold, his most recent outing on May 27 proved he is rapidly recapturing his elite form, mowing down 10 Royals across 6.2 scoreless frames.

Tonight, he runs into a great matchup against a Cleveland Guardians lineup that has shown a noticeable short-term slide in plate discipline. While Cleveland holds a 20.5-percent strikeout rate against righties on the full season, that number has jumped up significantly over the last 14 days to a more volatile 21.7-percent clip. With Cole's pitch count restrictions being loosened, our MLB DFS Projections favor him navigating deep into this matchup to comfortably clear the Higher.

Cristopher Sanchez MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Cristopher Sanchez is another priority target you want to squeeze onto your entries tonight. Sanchez has been completely dominant from the left side for Philadelphia, carrying a spectacular 29.4-percent strikeout rate and a blistering 10.78 K/9 mix across his 12 starts. He has been incredibly consistent for over bettors, smashing the Higher on tonight's 6.5 line in eight of his 12 outings.

He enters this turn sitting on a blistering recent run, striking out 28 hitters over his last three appearances alone, which includes an outing against these exact Padres on May 27 where he completely dismantled them for nine strikeouts across seven scoreless frames. San Diego remains a highly volatile matchup against lefties in the full season with a prominent 23.7-percent strikeout mark. Our MLB DFS Projections heavily favor another high-whiff performance, making the Higher a wonderfully sharp selection.
