Gore Struggles in Tight Loss to D-backs

MacKenzie Gore endured a rough outing, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out just one over 5.1 innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance continues a troubling trend for Gore, whose season ERA now sits at an inflated 4.54, compounded by a high WHIP of 1.50. Despite a solid K/9 rate of 9.89, his effectiveness this season has been undercut by a high BABIP of .364, suggesting some bad luck but also potential issues with pitch quality or defense behind him. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his high strikeout potential is tempered by inconsistent results and elevated run allowance, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
