Merrill Kelly Chalkboard Fantasy MLB Pick: More Than 1.5 Strikeouts (1.10x)
ANCHOR PICK – You have to love the extra push Chalkboard gives us with these anchor picks. The multipliers are obviously low, but if you’re just looking to build your bankroll, this is a great way to start. The righthanded Kelly is facing the Cardinals who hit righties well and are only striking out 18.5-percent of the time, but Kelly has thrown at least two strikeouts in every start since April 3. Doesn’t matter how else he fares against St. Louis, we just want two strikeouts. Should be easy to land.
Paul Goldschmidt Chalkboard Fantasy MLB Pick: More Than 2.5 Hits + Runs + RBI (1.59x)
Time to attack Coors Field and we’ll do it with Goldschmidt who is facing lefthander Kyle Freeland in a match-up the Yankees should dominate. While Goldy is batting just .258 (8-for-31) in his career against Freeland, the resurgent season has us locking him in for today’s action. He’s absolutely mashing with a .657 wOBA against lefties this season which matches up beautifully with the .376 wOBA Freeland is allowing to righthanded batters. Should be a solid pick and one that helps us build the bankroll.
Total Multiplier: 1.75x

Player News
Corbin Carroll doubled and tripled in a win for the Diamondbacks on Monday over the Padres.
Getting to play your home games in Arizona and being faster than the overwhelming majority of players gives you a good chance to pile up the triples, and Carroll has done just that with 10 already before the All-Star break. The 24-year-old also doubled while improving his season slash to .250/.332/.563. It wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Carroll approached 20-plus three-baggers someday. It could even be 2025.
Manny Machado homered while going 3-for-5 in a 6-3 loss for the Padres on Monday to the Diamondbacks.
Kevin Ginkel was credited with a save after firing a scoreless ninth against the Padres on Monday.
Zac Gallen struck out nine over six innings while allowing only an unearned run to get a win over the Padres on Monday.
Yu Darvish gave up two runs over 3 2/3 innings with five strikeouts in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Travis d’Arnaud homered and drove in three runs to help the Angels to a win over the Rangers on Monday.
