Gilbert is slated to start for Seattle at Kansas City, continuing the Mariners’ strong rotation as they push toward the postseason push.

Gilbert’s two-start week carries strikeout upside and mixed park factors; performance hinges on control and the opposing lineups.

Gilbert projects to convert a promising season into a two-start week with a strong chance at a win and solid ratios, making him a staple in most fantasy lineups.

Gilbert anchors SEA’s rotation, delivering six-plus innings in three straight starts with a 2.37 FIP and elite strikeout rate; his prior matchup against STL featured 10 Ks across eight innings in a game Seattle lost 2-0, making this a key duel for fantasy leaguers who bet on pitcher upside and bullpen leverage.
