Logan Gilbert's Arrow Pointing Up After Strongest Start of the Season
Seattle Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert needed a bounce-back outing, and he definitely got one on Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, when he threw six shutout innings with just one hit allowed, no walks, and a season-high nine strikeouts. It was what fantasy managers were hoping for against a lackluster opponent following his four earned runs allowed in six innings to the first-place Atlanta Braves on May 4. The 29-year-old former All-Star should be able to keep things rolling into his next scheduled outing this weekend versus a San Diego Padres team that currently ranks 27th in all of baseball with a .667 OPS. Overall, Gilbert is 2-3 on the season with a 3.78 ERA (3.90 FIP) and 1.16 WHIP with 52 strikeouts and 10 walks in 50 innings across his nine starts. He should absolutely be in all starting lineups in traditional fantasy leagues this weekend when the Friars come to T-Mobile Park. Gilbert numbers have been solid despite sitting in the 10th percentile in hard-hit rate.
