ANALYSIS: July has been good for Kyle Gibson. The young right-hander has allowed only 2 ER in 21 IP since the beginning of the month, a stark contrast to the 16 ER he allowed in 30.2 June innings. He has dropped his season ERA to a superb 2.85 with a 1.21 WHIP. He's also notched a 4 - 0 record over his last four starts, raising his season mark to a solid 8 - 6. In fact, Gibson hasn't given up more than 2 ER since the middle of June, and has boasted a K/9 of 8.39 across his last 8 starts, not a great mark but a solid one for sure. Like most Twins pitchers, he won't get you double-digit K's and isn't even a lock for half that much, but Gibson has a way of getting batters out and his .156 OBA/RISP shows he's more than capable of limiting damage. If the Twins offense can continue its hot hitting into the second half, Gibson could become a boon to both a fantasy team's ERA and wins. He's certainly worth a shot if you find yourself in need of pitching.
