Kevin Gausman Steadies Ship with Quality Start
by Chase Davis | Blue Jays Correspondent | Fri, Aug 9th 8:15am EDT
Kevin Gausman delivered a solid outing in Thursday's narrow 7-6 victory over the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
He tossed eight innings, allowing just three hits and two earned runs while walking three and striking out two. This performance was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers given Gausman's rocky 4.42 ERA and 1.27 WHIP after this game. His ability to eat innings and minimize damage, as seen in this latest start, adds some stability to his fantasy value. However, his reduced strikeout rate this season, now at 8.2 K/9, continues to be a concern. Managers should view Gausman as a potential innings-eater on their rosters, but temper expectations for dominant outings.
