St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray struck out nine batters en route to earning his 13th win of the 2024 season on Thursday afternoon. Gray allowed just two hits, two free passes and one earned run. Gray did not allow baserunners through the first five innings. However, he allowed four baserunners in the sixth but was able to escape the jam by allowing just one run to cross home plate. Entering this start, the 34-year-old held a stellar 1.38 ERA and 0.62 WHIP across his past two outings. Gray has looked comfortable in his first season in St. Louis as he sits with an overall 3.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 39:195 BB:K ratio across 160 2/3 innings of work.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray fell to 11-7 in Monday's 6-1 loss to the Reds. Gray pitched five innings, allowing six runs on five hits (including three home runs) and two walks with nine strikeouts. He has racked up strikeouts all season long with an 11.16 K/9 rate in his 130 2/3 innings of work. However, everything else has been a tale of two halves, with Gray's second half yielding poor results. Homers have been a particular issue, as he has allowed nine HR in five second-half starts to go with a bloated 5.81 ERA. This has been frustrating for fantasy managers, as his first half was quite strong. Gray's next start could be a very tough matchup against the Dodgers. If he does draw the start, fantasy managers may consider benching him.
St. Louis Cardinals ace Sonny Gray (11-6) struck out six batters while only allowing two runs over seven innings pitched in a 4-3 win against Tampa Bay. This is Gray's second consecutive start where he pitched seven innings and allowed only two runs. Before that, he was not pitching very well. In the four starts in July, he was (1-1) with a 6.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 24 frames. These two strong outings may mark a turning point in Grays's up-and-down season. His command has been sharper, and he is giving up much less hard contact. It seems like he can finish the season off strong and make Cardinals fans (and fantasy managers) happy. Gray will look to keep things rolling in his next start on Monday against the Cincinnati Reds.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray had a terrific start against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday, going seven innings while allowing just two runs on five hits. He struck out nine and walked only one. Unfortunately for Gray, Ryan Helsley had a rare bad outing and blew the win. Nevertheless, it was a much-needed performance for the 34-year-old, who had a rough 6.75 ERA in July. His overall numbers this year still look good, with a 3.72 ERA and 1.09 WHIP to go with 147 strikeouts in 118 IP. He is still a must-start pitcher in almost all formats.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray will take the mound for Friday's series opener at Truist Park against the hosting Atlanta Braves as the second half gets underway. The 34-year-old three-time All-Star has been St. Louis' clear-cut ace in his first year with the team, logging a 3.34 ERA (2.56 FIP) and 1.05 WHIP along with a sparkling 121:24 K:BB covering 17 starts (99 2/3 innings). The matchup with Atlanta isn't as imposing as it once was, considering the Braves are scoring just 3.8 runs per game in 46 outings with Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) out of the lineup this season. Despite Gray's dicey 5.09 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over seven appearances on the road this year, he'll be a fine fantasy play in all settings on Friday's slate.
