Fantasy Impact

Despite a solid strikeout rate in this outing, Gore's performance wasn't enough to steer the Nationals clear of a 7-1 defeat. His season ERA slightly rose to 3.19, and his WHIP stands at 1.35, reflecting some challenges with base runners. The high BABIP of .392 suggests he's had some bad luck on balls in play, which might regress positively. However, fantasy managers should be cautious, as his inability to pitch deep into games could limit his win potential and overall value.

MacKenzie Gore allowed one earned run on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a strong performance that should have been enough for a win, Gore was saddled with the loss due to minimal run support from his Nationals teammates. His season ERA now sits at a respectable 3.12, complemented by a solid 10.7 K/9 rate, though his WHIP remains slightly elevated at 1.38, largely due to a high .400 BABIP indicating some bad luck. Fantasy managers should be encouraged by Gore's consistent strikeout abilities and his ability to limit runs, making him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats, especially if his luck on balls in play normalizes.

MacKenzie Gore endured a challenging outing, surrendering three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Astros.

This performance slightly elevated his ERA to 3.60 and WHIP to 1.35 for the season. Despite the setback, Gore's high strikeout rate of 12.2 K/9 and a solid 4.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio continue to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts. However, his elevated .408 BABIP suggests he's been somewhat unlucky with balls in play, which might hint at potential improvement or normalization as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts to see if he can reduce the hits allowed and regain his earlier form.

MacKenzie Gore's outing against the Phillies on Sunday saw him navigate through 5.2 innings with a line that was a slight improvement on his first outing.

Allowing 5 hits and 2 walks while surrendering 2 earned runs, Gore's performance was a mixed bag, but his ability to secure 6 strikeouts and notch another win to his record underscores his fantasy relevance. This game nudges his ERA slightly upwards to 4.09, with a WHIP that remains a bit elevated at 1.27. However, his 9.8 K/9 continues to be a silver lining for fantasy managers, indicating his potential for high strikeout totals. While his control was less than perfect, evidenced by a 3.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Gore's ability to battle through outings and secure wins makes him a valuable asset in fantasy rotations, albeit with a note of caution due to his inconsistency.

MacKenzie Gore allowed five hits, two walks, and three earned runs in 5 1/3 innings pitched Monday. He struck out six Pirates’ hitters and did not factor into the decision.

Fantasy Impact

Gore tossed 101 pitches over his 5+ innings of work and will need to work on getting that number down if he wants to go deeper into games. The 25-year-old southpaw will look to bounce back in his next outing.
