Game 27 Preview: McGee vs Gausman
The Blue Jays exorcised their Wild Card demons last night in winning their first matchup against the Mariners back at Rogers Centre. They’ll go for the series win this afternoon, as well as their sixth win in a row overall, starting at 3:07 ET.Kevin Gausman heads to the mound for his sixth start of the season, looking to continue a very strong start to his season. Through 31.2 innings, he is 2-2 with a 2.84 ERA. His 2.88 FIP backs up that great ERA, thanks to a fantastic 41:5 K:BB ratio.
Interestingly, through his first five starts last year, he also threw 31.2 innings with 41 strikeouts. But the difference between this year and last is that he didn’t surrender a walk or a home run in that stretch, which is where the difference in dominance feeling is coming from. He’s still doing great to start this season though, even when you consider that he has allowed a 7 run inning this season. To have that bad of an inning and still have a sub-3.00 ERA is quite impressive.
Easton McGee has just been called up and will be starting the game for the Mariners. This will be just the second Major League appearance for the 25 year old righty. He had 5 starts in AAA already this season, pitching 28.2 innings to a 3.14 ERA. He has never been one to get many strikeouts as Minor Leaguer, finding success by being in the zone and limiting hard contact. He allowed just 95 walks and 59 home runs in 485.1 career Minor League innings.
