Shohei Ohtani MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Shohei Ohtani is an exceptional anchor for your entries today. The Dodgers' ace has been flashing dominant stuff all season, posting a 29.2 percent strikeout rate and clearing this 6.5 threshold in 5 of his 7 starts. Today, he gets a fantastic matchup against the San Diego Padres. While San Diego is fairly average against righties on the full season, our latest MLB DFS Projections highlight their recent slide, as the Padres have struck out at a high 26.2 percent rate over the last 14 days. Ohtani’s excellent pitch design gives him a clear path to the Higher.

Trey Yesavage MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 5.5 Strikeouts

Trey Yesavage is another high-value play on today’s board for your Underdog MLB Picks. Yesavage is missing bats at a 25.9 percent clip and has cleared this mark in 3 of 4 starts this season. Today he faces a New York Yankees lineup that has been uncharacteristically swing-happy over the last two weeks, striking out at a 26.1 percent rate against right-handers. Our MLB DFS Projections show a high floor for Yesavage today, and taking the Higher on a 5.5 line looks like the sharp move for your card.
