Sportsbook Wire highlighted Zac Gallen as a strong pitcher to back, noting his exceptional strikeout upside (14.3 K/9 ranks third in MLB). Gallen is coming off a dominant start against the Yankees, throwing 6 2/3 scoreless innings and allowing just three hits. Opponents are batting a mere .171 against Gallen this season. Although facing an Orioles offense ranked sixth in MLB hits (.263 average) and 10th in slugging (.419), Gallen's recent stellar form and high strikeout rate position him for another solid outing. This combination makes him especially intriguing for DFS lineups and betting scenarios.

Sportsbook Wire cast doubt on Zach Eflin's upside in his upcoming start against Arizona. Eflin owns a modest 3.75 ERA and ranks low in strikeout rate (5.2 K/9 - 80th among qualifiers). He faces a D-backs offense that's been explosive, ranking fifth in MLB with 58 runs, hitting .261 with a .450 slugging percentage (sixth-ranked). Despite Eflin's solid WHIP (.917, 19th-ranked) and consecutive six-inning quality outings, the tough matchup against a lineup that's scored prolifically and hit for power tempers expectations. Eflin could be a fade candidate in DFS and betting given the offensive strength he's up against.
