MacKenzie Gore dominates Mariners in stellar outing

MacKenzie Gore delivered a commanding performance in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Mariners, allowing just one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out eight over seven innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing is a bright spot in what has been a solid season for Gore, lowering his ERA to 3.04 and showcasing his ability to handle pressure against competitive teams. His 10.5 K/9 ratio continues to make him a valuable asset for strikeouts in fantasy leagues, and his improved control, evident from his 3.65 strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggests that he could be turning a corner towards more consistent performances. While the high BABIP (.341) indicates he's had some bad luck on balls in play, his strong FIP (3.28) reinforces the notion that his underlying metrics are robust. Fantasy managers should consider Gore a high-upside play, especially in matchups where his strikeout potential can be fully leveraged.
