Gausman (6-9) picked up the win in Friday's 10-1 victory over the Brewers, allowing one run on six hits over eight innings while striking out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The Braves jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back, but Gausman didn't need the extra run support he was given. The right-hander pounded the strike zone, throwing 71 of 94 pitches for strikes, and he'll take a 4.27 ERA into his next start Wednesday at home against the Marlins.

Gausman is scheduled to make his first start with the Braves on Saturday against the Mets, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It initially appeared that Gausman's Braves debut would come Friday, but he ended up getting pushed back a day in the pitching schedule after Wednesday's game against the Marlins was postponed. Gausman, who went 5-8 with a 4.43 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 124 innings with the Orioles prior to being acquired by Braves on Tuesday, is slated to oppose Mets ace Jacob deGrom in his first outing on the Senior Circuit.

Gausman is in line to start Friday's game against the Mets, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will keep Gausman on normal rest after he pitched Saturday during his final outing in an Orioles' jersey. Across 21 starts with Baltimore this year, he logged a 4.43 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with a 7.5 K/9.

Gausman was traded from the Orioles to the Braves on Tuesday for an undisclosed package, Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A former elite pitching prospect, Gausman has never quite lived up to the hype, as he currently sits with a 4.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 104:32 K:BB in 124 innings (21 starts). That said, this trade can only be good for his fantasy value, as he moves from the American League East to the National League, and will benefit from significantly better defense and run support behind him. He is under team control for 2019 and 2020 after this season, so the prospect package heading to Baltimore figures to be pretty decent. Gausman was scheduled to pitch Friday for the O's, so he could slot into the Braves' rotation this weekend.

Gausman (4-7) allowed five runs on 12 hits and a walk in five innings Thursday, taking the loss against the Phillies. He struck out just two batters and gave up a home run.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman had allowed three or fewer runs in his last six starts, but simply couldn't find a groove against Philadelphia. However, he's given up a homer in five straight starts, striking out five or fewer in each of those outings. Gausman will take his 4.33 ERA to Toronto next Saturday.

Gausman did not factor in the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits over five innings during the 5-4 loss the the Twins. He struck out five and walked one.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was cruising until the the fifth inning, when he allowed three runs on four hits and a walk, effectively ending his afternoon. The 27-year-old has been solid across his last six outings with a 3.13 ERA and 1.15 WHIP, and lines up to face the Phillies at home Thursday.

Gausman (4-6) allowed two runs on six hits while striking out two across eight innings as he picked up the victory over the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman turned in one of his better performances of the season, exiting after eight strong innings with 104 pitches. He's been outstanding over his last five outings, surrendering three runs or fewer across 32.1 innings. The 27-year-old right-hander sits with a 4.05 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and a 90:25 K:BB through 102.1 innings in 2018.

Gausman tossed six innings during Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners, allowing one run on five hits and one walk. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The only damage against Gausman came courtesy of a Kyle Seager solo home run during the fourth inning. The Orioles anemic offense has scored only seven runs in the 27-year-old's last four starts, in which he is 0-1 with a 3.11 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over 23.1 innings. Gausman lines up to take the mound against the Angels on Sunday.

Gausman threw six innings Thursday, allowing two runs on four walks and four hits while striking out three in a 4-2 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
It was a lackluster start but certainly not one of Gausman's worst. He was able to avoid the loss, but the 27-year-old hasn't picked up a win since May 11 against the Rays. His ERA has lowered to 4.38 across 88.1 innings alongside a 84:24 K:BB. Gausman will get the ball next Tuesday when Baltimore hosts the Mariners.

Gausman (3-6) took the loss Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings while striking out seven as the Orioles fell 2-0 to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander fell an out shy of his eighth quality start of the season, throwing 71 of 107 pitches for strikes, but another feeble effort from the O's offense kept Gausman out of the win column. He'll face a tougher test in his next outing Wednesday on the road against the Nationals.
