MacKenzie Gore

MacKenzie Gore endured a challenging outing, surrendering three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

This performance slightly elevated his ERA to 3.60 and WHIP to 1.35 for the season. Despite the setback, Gore's high strikeout rate of 12.2 K/9 and a solid 4.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio continue to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts. However, his elevated .408 BABIP suggests he's been somewhat unlucky with balls in play, which might hint at potential improvement or normalization as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his next few starts to see if he can reduce the hits allowed and regain his earlier form.

MacKenzie Gore's outing against the Phillies on Sunday saw him navigate through 5.2 innings with a line that was a slight improvement on his first outing.

Fantasy Impact

Allowing 5 hits and 2 walks while surrendering 2 earned runs, Gore's performance was a mixed bag, but his ability to secure 6 strikeouts and notch another win to his record underscores his fantasy relevance. This game nudges his ERA slightly upwards to 4.09, with a WHIP that remains a bit elevated at 1.27. However, his 9.8 K/9 continues to be a silver lining for fantasy managers, indicating his potential for high strikeout totals. While his control was less than perfect, evidenced by a 3.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Gore's ability to battle through outings and secure wins makes him a valuable asset in fantasy rotations, albeit with a note of caution due to his inconsistency.

MacKenzie Gore allowed five hits, two walks, and three earned runs in 5 1/3 innings pitched Monday. He struck out six Pirates’ hitters and did not factor into the decision.

Fantasy Impact

Gore tossed 101 pitches over his 5+ innings of work and will need to work on getting that number down if he wants to go deeper into games. The 25-year-old southpaw will look to bounce back in his next outing.

MacKenzie Gore had a rough outing against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing six hits and two walks over just four innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

He surrendered four earned runs while striking out four batters. This performance adds to his already underwhelming season stats, with a 4.42 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP. While his strikeout rate of 10.0 K/9 is impressive, his 4.93 FIP and 2.65 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest that his numbers may not be sustainable. Fantasy managers may want to approach Gore with caution moving forward, as his recent struggles have raised concerns about his overall effectiveness.

Gore's season-long struggles with command were evident once again as he allowed two walks and six hits in just five innings, resulting in a high pitch count of 106.

Fantasy Impact

While he managed to limit the damage to just one earned run, his lack of strikeouts (2) and inability to work deep into games remain concerns for fantasy managers. With a 4.28 ERA and 1.38 WHIP on the season, Gore's inconsistency makes him a risky option moving forward.
