MacKenzie Gore dominates Cubs with stellar outing

MacKenzie Gore delivered a masterful performance, allowing just one earned run on one hit and three walks while striking out nine over seven innings in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a refreshing display of efficiency and control, particularly given his season-long struggles with a 4.04 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. The high strikeout rate he maintained in this game aligns with his season average of 9.7 K/9, showcasing his ability to still dominate hitters when he's on his game. Despite his season record now improving to 10-12, Gore's inconsistency and high WHIP make him a risky fantasy play, but performances like this highlight his potential upside when he finds his rhythm.
