Kevin Gausman and Jake Burger emerged as key talking points in the latest episode of Fantasy Baseball Today. Gausman delivered a stellar seven-inning shutout against the Padres, showcasing a revitalized splitter that generated impressive whiffs, indicating he could be regaining his ace form. Meanwhile, Jake Burger has been on a tear since returning from Triple-A, smashing two home runs and bringing his batting average to around .340, making him a hot commodity in fantasy leagues.

Despite Gausman's inconsistency, his recent performance suggests he may still hold top-30 starting pitcher potential, particularly if he can maintain the sharpness of his splitter. Burger's power numbers have always been intriguing, but his plate discipline issues could limit his upside in points leagues. The conversation also touched on waiver wire strategies, highlighting other notable performances, including catchers like Adley Rutschman and Cal Raleigh, and their potential for a rebound in production.
