Fantasy Impact

This performance marks a continuation of a somewhat turbulent season for Gausman, who now sees his ERA rise to 4.60 and his WHIP to 1.34 through 12 starts. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 8.8 K/9 and a solid 3.93 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Gausman's inconsistency, highlighted by a .330 BABIP, suggests that he remains a risky play in fantasy lineups.

Kevin Gausman delivered a solid performance in the Blue Jays' 7-2 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Gausman allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings. This outing keeps the veteran going in the right direction. His performance, characterized by efficient pitching and minimized damage, should reassure fantasy managers. Gausman remains a viable option in most fantasy formats, especially given his strong underlying metrics like a 3.22 FIP and a 4.00 K/BB ratio. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.3 K/9) continues to be a key asset.

Kevin Gausman dazzled against the Tigers, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out 10 over six innings in Thursday's 9-1 victory.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a refreshing display of dominance for Gausman, who has had a rocky season with a 4.47 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over his first 10 starts. His 10 strikeouts in this outing highlight his ability to still miss bats at a high rate, evidenced by his season K/9 of 9.9. The significant reduction in hits and runs allowed in this game could be a turning point for Gausman, potentially signaling a return to form. Fantasy managers should consider this performance encouraging, especially given his solid 3.16 FIP and 4.08 K/BB ratio, suggesting some bad luck with a .370 BABIP. This outing might be the spark Gausman needs to regain consistency and become a more reliable option in fantasy rotations.

Kevin Gausman had a middling outing in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings. This performance slightly dents his already shaky season stats, pushing his ERA to an unimpressive 4.89 and WHIP to 1.51. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.1 K/9, Gausman's high BABIP of .372 suggests he's been somewhat unlucky, but it also indicates that hitters are making solid contact. His 3.61 FIP suggests a better underlying performance than his ERA reflects, yet fantasy managers might still be wary. Given the inconsistency, Gausman remains a risky play in fantasy lineups, particularly in shallower leagues.

Kevin Gausman had a rough outing in Saturday's high-scoring affair against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered six earned runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out six over just three innings. Despite Gausman's struggles, the Blue Jays managed to secure a 10-8 victory. This performance inflates his ERA to 4.95 and WHIP to 1.51 for the season, continuing a trend of inconsistency marked by a high BABIP of .364. His strikeout numbers remain solid at 9.2 K/9, but fantasy managers should be wary of his volatility in matchups, especially given the current trajectory of his peripheral stats like FIP at 3.92. Gausman remains a risky play in fantasy lineups, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize for earned runs and hits.
