Struggles again Friday
Gore (8-11) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over four-plus innings to take the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks.
Analysis
It's the third time in four starts Gore has given up at least four runs while failing to complete five frames. The southpaw has given up a total of 14 runs over 16 innings with an 11:14 K:BB in that span. His 4.62 ERA is a career worst, and he's added an uninspiring 1.35 WHIP and 172:66 K:BB through 161.2 innings over 31 starts this year. Gore's projected to make his next start at home versus the Red Sox, but his recent performances make him a pitcher to avoid to close out the year in fantasy.

Struggles against Rays
Gore allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Sunday.
Analysis
Neither of Gore or Ian Seymour was able to provide much length as starters. The Rays' four-run second inning did much of the damage on Gore's line. He's now allowed 13 runs over his last 23.2 innings across five starts, falling short of the five-inning mark twice in that span. For the season, Gore has a 4.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 170:63 K:BB across 157.2 innings through 30 starts. He is projected to make his next start at Arizona.
