Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN

Kevin Gausman Recorded 11 strikeouts and allowed three runs over eight innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Tigers. Gausman’s fastball rebounded to 95 mph in Wednesday’s scrimmage, which is a relief to fantasy executives, as he hit just 91.3 mph in his last start. The 32-year-old’s trademark splitter was virtually unhittable, producing 14 of his 20 swing strikes on the night. However, he allowed two homers and had to settle for a no-decision. He will face a tough challenge in his next start against the Astros on Monday.

Peña also doubled in the seventh inning and walked to score his team’s first run. Alex Bergman walked with the bases loaded. He finished the night 1-for-3 and is now hitting .227/.301/.409 with two homers, nine RBIs and four stolen bases.
