"If the Blue Jays are to accomplish anything this year, they will need their ace Kevin Gausman to be at his best once again following an up-and-down 2024 campaign. Gausman has been exactly what the Jays have envisioned him to be, especially for the second half of the season. Since the All-Star Break, the 34-year-old veteran has posted a stellar 2.82 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, along with 53 strikeouts in 51 innings pitched over eight starts."
"For those that were counting Max Scherzer out, especially when he went down to a thumb injury just one game into his Jays' tenure, he certainly has proven everyone wrong in recent weeks. Since coming back from the injured list, the former three-time Cy Young winner has delivered the goods. Especially during a five-game stretch between the end of July to mid-August, you would have thought he was the Scherzer from a decade ago, compiling an impressive 2.28 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, along with 28 strikeouts in 32 innings of work."
Kevin Gausman has returned to elite form since the All-Star Break, posting a 2.82 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 51 innings over eight starts. He has gone at least six innings in seven starts and recorded six quality starts, providing length and consistency to the rotation. Max Scherzer rebounded from a thumb injury and delivered a dominant stretch with a 2.28 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 32 innings. Both veterans have materially improved Toronto's pitching depth and enhance the team's chances of securing a playoff spot in September.
