Gausman (2-6) gave up four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three in 6.2 inning in Friday's loss to Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman's had registered quality starts in five of his last six starts entering Friday, but struggled a bit with the Rangers lineup. Gausman is available in many leagues and owners looking for some late-season pitching could be taking out their scales and jelly beans to decide whether Gausman is worth a pickup. On one hand, he's given up 10 homers in his last 10 starts to go along with a very mediocre 4.57 ERA. On the other, he's averaged a solid 7.86 K/9 and posted a 1.14 WHIP over the same period. Whether Gausman is worth a pickup depends on what team stats you are looking to improve.
