BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 42% of leagues
ANALYSIS: People are going to be very excited to rush out and add Gore after his performance this week. He struck out 10 Mets in six innings while giving up just one run on four hits and walking a pair. Those two walks tied his season-low for walks allowed, and therein lies our problem.
Most Walks Allowed 2023
| Player | IP | BB |
| Edward Cabrera | 22 | 20 |
| Jack Flaherty | 27 | 19 |
| Brad Keller | 25 | 19 |
| Kodai Senga | 26 | 18 |
| Blake Snell | 23 | 18 |
| Shohei Ohtani | 34 | 17 |
| Merrill Kelly | 26 | 17 |
| Michael Kopech | 26 | 16 |
| MacKenzie Gore | 27 | 16 |
| Alek Manoah | 26 | 16 |
Gore has a 14.4% BB% right now. You just can't do that and be successful in the Majors. It's easier to do when you have the 31.5% K% that Gore also sports, but it's still incredibly tough. Gore is a fine add in deeper leagues, he'll spin some gems this year like we saw last week.
However, you have to be prepared for some really bad starts as well since he just doesn't have command of the baseball. But the strikeouts can't be ignored (he has at least six in each of his five starts this year).
