Kevin Gausman
As the MLB DFS slate for Saturday, April 29th, unfolds, one pitcher stands out among the rest – Kevin Gausman. The San Francisco Giants’ right-hander has been dominant against right-handed batters this season, with a 30.0% strikeout rate and a 4.4% walk rate over 121.1 innings pitched.
Gausman will be facing off against the Seattle Mariners, who are batting .225 against right-handed pitchers this season. While there are a few strong hitters in the Mariners’ lineup, including Julio Rodriguez and Jarred Kelenic, Gausman’s impressive strikeout and walk rates make him a formidable opponent for any batter.
Julio Rodriguez, one of the Mariners’ most dangerous hitters against right-handed pitchers, has a high strikeout rate of 24.7%, making him vulnerable to Gausman’s dominant pitching. Ty France, another right-handed hitter in the Mariners’ lineup, has a solid .330 xwOBA against righties, but Gausman’s low walk rate of 4.4% makes it difficult for batters to get on base.
While the Mariners have a few hitters with impressive ISO and xwOBA numbers, Gausman’s pitching is likely to limit their offensive capabilities. With his impressive season stats and favorable matchup, Kevin Gausman is a top pitcher to consider for your MLB DFS lineups on Saturday.
