Tarik Skubal MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 7.5 Strikeouts

Skubal makes his Dodgers debut tonight at Wrigley Field, just days after the blockbuster trade that sent him from Detroit for a package headlined by Zyhir Hope. He carries a 2.79 ERA, 116 strikeouts, and a 10.8 K/9 into the outing, and his final Tigers start was a going-away gift, a shutout into the seventh with his 1,000th career strikeout before the bullpen let it slip away. His career mark against the Cubs is a 4.12 ERA with 18 strikeouts over three starts, and a fresh start with a loaded new team is real extra motivation for a strong first impression. Take it.

Logan Henderson MLB Underdog Fantasy Pick: Higher than 6.5 Strikeouts

Opponents are batting just .195 against Henderson this season, and his 32.0% strikeout rate ranks among the best in baseball through nine starts. His last outing was seven strikeouts over 5.2 scoreless innings at San Francisco, extending his career record to 8-1. Tonight's Pirates strike out against right-handers at 23.6%, a solid number, and his lone prior look at them produced six strikeouts over five innings. Lock it in.
