Kevin Gausman Records 10 Strikeouts, Picks Up Loss Friday
5 months agoToronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (6-8) was outdueled Friday night by Luis Castillo and the Seattle Mariners in a 2-1 loss. Despite the quality start, Gausman picked up the loss allowing two runs on six hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts. Hopefully, this is a sign that as the temperature heats so will Gausman. It's been an uncharacteristic year for the veteran right-hander with a 4.64 ERA and 1.34 WHIP on the season. The 33-year-old is on pace for his worst season since he put up a 5.72 ERA in the 2019 season. Gausman is now rostered in 95% of fantasy leagues which means there are fantasy managers out there who have lost patience with the former all-star ace. If you're in one of those leagues where Gausman is on the waiver wire go add him now! His next start is projected against a mediocre San Francisco Giants and if he has the second half that reflects any of the past couple of years he's put up it could be a move that could be reap league-winning rewards.
