Sonny Gray shines in shutout against White Sox

Sonny Gray (SP - STL)

Sonny Gray delivered a masterful performance, tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out six in the Cardinals' 3-0 victory over the White Sox on Friday.

Fantasy Impact
This outing further cements his status as a top-tier fantasy option, lowering his ERA to an impressive 0.89 and WHIP to 0.86 through five starts this season. His consistent ability to rack up strikeouts, evidenced by an 11.3 K/9 rate, combined with a superb 7.60 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a must-start in all fantasy formats. Given his dominant start to the season, Gray should be considered a reliable anchor for any fantasy pitching staff, with his performance seemingly sustainable given his low BABIP and elite FIP.
