Kevin Gausman Secures Win Despite Modest Ks
by Chase Davis | Blue Jays Correspondent | Fri, Jul 12th 8:53am EDT
Kevin Gausman earned a win Thursday, allowing two earned runs on six hits over seven innings while striking out three in the Blue Jays' 5-3 victory over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, characterized by efficient pitching rather than overpowering stuff, nudged his ERA slightly to an unimpressive 4.50. Gausman's season has been a mixed bag, with a decent strikeout rate of 9.0 K/9 and a solid 3.85 strikeout-to-walk ratio, but his overall effectiveness has been hampered by a slightly high WHIP of 1.31 and an ERA that doesn't scream dominance. Fantasy managers should view Gausman as a reliable, yet not spectacular, option in their rotations, benefiting mostly from innings volume and win potential rather than elite strikeout numbers.
