Gomber (4-5) allowed seven runs on 11 hits and two walks with one strikeout in four-plus innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber has covered just 10.2 innings over his last three starts, surrendering 15 runs in that span. The long ball did him in Friday, as the Padres generated five of their seven runs against him via homers. After another awful outing, Gomber's at a 7.57 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 39:27 K:BB through 60.2 innings on the season. He's projected for a road outing in Boston next week.

Gomber did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over 2.2 innings against the Royals. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Saturday's start marked Gomber's shortest since April 19, being yanked after throwing 74 pitches in 2.2 innings of work. Gomber yielded a solo home run to Nick Pratto in the first, marking his 13th long ball allowed on the season and pushing him seventh most in MLB. Although Gomber owns an ugly 8.64 ERA in seven home starts (33.1 innings), he has shown some promise on the road with a 4.63 ERA over five starts (23.1 innings).

Gomber allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
An ugly fourth inning accounted for all of the runs on Gomber's line, but the Rockies quickly covered his mistakes. This was the second time in his last three starts that he failed to complete five innings. Gomber still hasn't taken a loss in his last seven outings, but he has a 7.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 34:22 K:BB over 54 innings across 11 starts this season, so he remains a risky play in fantasy. He tentatively has a favorable road matchup in Kansas City up next.

Gomber (4-4) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over 5.2 innings, earning the win Tuesday over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber was solid, though two of the hits he allowed left the yard as home runs by Jorge Soler and Garrett Cooper accounted for all of the runs on his line. This was Gomber's third straight home start, and he's allowed 11 runs over 16.2 innings in that span at Coors Field. He's still undefeated over his last six outings (four wins) after losing his first four starts of the year. The southpaw has a 6.48 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 31:19 K:BB through 50 innings. Gomber is projected for another home start versus the Mets this weekend.

Gomber did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Reds. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber had been pitching well prior to Wednesday's outing, logging three consecutive quality starts while pitching to a 2.28 ERA in his last four outings. Despite his poor showing against the Reds, Gomber was spared the loss as the Rockies overcame a 5-0 deficit to pick up a win. The 29-year-old lefty is 3-4 on the season with a 6.70 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 29:18 K:BB through 44.1 innings.

Gomber allowed three runs on five hits and struck out six over 6.2 innings without walking a batter in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Four of the five hits Gomber allowed came in the seventh inning, and they led to three runs thanks to home runs by Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber. Even with the late fade, this was Gomber's third straight quality start, though it's also the second time in eight outings he's allowed multiple homers. The 29-year-old southpaw has a 6.30 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB across 40 innings this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Reds next week.

Gomber (3-4) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings in a 5-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
After a shaky start to the season, Gomber has turned a corner and won three straight outings, posting a 1.59 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 17 innings over that stretch. His 10:7 K:BB during the win streak is far from dominant, but the southpaw has kept the ball in the park and limited any damage. While he's trending in the right direction, Gomber will still carry a 6.75 ERA into his next start, which is likely to come next weekend in Coors Field against the Phillies.

Gomber (2-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings against the Diamondbacks. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Gomber neutralized the Diamondbacks on Sunday, allowing just two hits and no runs outside of a solo homer by Evan Longoria in the second inning. After giving up 22 runs over his first 16.1 innings and taking the loss in each of his first four starts, Gomber has bounced back with a pair of wins and has given up one run and six hits in his last 11 frames. Though it's certainly been an encouraging stretch for the 29-year-old, fantasy managers shouldn't expect it to sustain considering he owns a 5.32 ERA and 1.55 HR/9 in his time with the Rockies.

Gomber (1-4) picked up the win in Monday's 6-0 victory over Cleveland, allowing three hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
After a brutal beginning to the season that saw Gomber take a loss in four straight trips to the mound while posting a 12.12 ERA, the southpaw was able to find some success against the Guardians. Given his early struggles and the fact the Rockies had the game well in hand, Gomber's exit after just 83 pitches (45 strikes) was likely a move to build up his confidence rather than risking a stumble in the sixth inning. He'll look to build on this performance in his next start, likely coming at home against Arizona over the weekend, but his 15:12 K:BB through 21.1 innings highlights his limited fantasy appeal, particularly at Coors Field.

Gomber (0-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing nine runs on nine hits with three walks over two innings against the Pirates. He struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old southpaw took his fourth consecutive loss Wednesday, lasting only two innings and giving up nine runs during that span. His 12.12 ERA and 2.14 WHIP over 16.1 innings this season reflect a lack of consistency and an inability to pitch effectively; however, Gomber is not alone, as the entire Colorado pitching staff has struggled this year, ranking near the bottom of the league in runs allowed and OBA.
