Gerrit Cole Aims To Eclipse 200 Innings
Sep. 27, 2018
.Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will take the mound for the final time in the regular season against the Orioles on Thursday. Cole has been a fantastic addition to the Astros rotation this season and heads into the start with 194 1/3 innings. The veteran is 5-0 over his last seven starts and has a career-high 272 strikeouts this season. The Astros have clinched the division but Cole is still worth a play in DFS and is 15-5 this season with a 1.03 WHIP, 2.92 ERA while allowing only 138 hits.
Gerrit Cole Carries 3.24 September ERA Into Friday Start
Sep. 21, 2018
.Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will take the ball Friday night against the Angels looking for his 15th win of the season. Cole (14-5) hasn't pitched more than six innings in four of his last eight starts but carries a 3.24 September ERA into the game. Cole has been a fantastic acquisition this season, posting career-best numbers in WHIP (1.04), K/9 (12.49) and strikeouts (260). This could be the last outing of the season where the Astros allow Cole to throw 90 or more pitches before the playoffs begin. The right-hander is an excellent play in DFS and all fantasy formats for Friday.
Gerrit Cole Pushed Back, Josh James Starting Tuesday
Sep. 17, 2018
.Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole, who was initially scheduled to pitch on Tuesday, is being pushed back to Friday against the Angels. The Astros are trying to get their rotation set up for the postseason. Not only does this give Cole some extra rest, but it's also a better matchup for his fantasy owners. Cole has been a must-start this year. James has a 4.22 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings in three outings (one start) for Houston this year. He'll be a shaky streaming option against Seattle on Tuesday.

Gerrit Cole Goes For Third Straight Win Friday
Sep. 7, 2018
.Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will look to win his third straight decision when the Astros open up a series against the Red Sox on Friday. Cole (13-5) kicks off a possible playoff preview and is 3-0 over his past four starts. Cole is far past the mini-lull on the mound that he suffered in late July and has at least seven strikeouts in 11 of his last 12 starts. Cole is averaging a career-best 12.40 K/9 this season and a sparkling 1.03 WHIP. The veteran will face one of the most potent lineups in baseball but still needs to be active in most formats.
Gerrit Cole Hunting For Only Second Win Since July 24
Aug. 27, 2018
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will look to shut down the A's when the team opens up a series with the A's on Monday night. Cole (11-5) is only 1-3 since July 24 despite continuing to dominate the competition. Cole is averaging 12.35 K/9 this season and still has a 3.47 ERA in the second half despite the less than stellar results in the win column. Cole struck out 11 hitters in six scoreless innings on July 9 against the A's and is an elite option in fantasy for Monday's action.

Gerrit Cole Takes The Ball Monday For Scuffling Astros
Aug. 20, 2018
Houston Astros pitcher Gerrit Cole will start Monday night as the team opens up a huge series against the Mariners in Seattle. Houston's division lead has tightened up over the last few weeks and they lead by only one game over the A's heading into this week's action. Cole has been nothing but fantastic all season long but is only 2-4 since June 29th. This will be the fourth start against the Mariners this season for Cole, posting a 1-2 record against them with 18 strikeouts and six earned runs through 21 innings. Cole takes a sparkling 12.32 K/9 into Monday's game this season and also has struck out 107 hitters through 82 innings pitching away from Minute Maid Park. Cole needs to be active in all formats to begin the fantasy week.

Gerrit Cole Goes For 11th Win Monday Against Mariners
Jul. 30, 2018
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will take the mound Monday night looking for his 11th win of the season against the Mariners. Cole (10-2) has been lights-out from the first start of the season and has struck out at least seven hitters in 18 of his 21 starts this season. He currently is averaging 12.43 strikeouts per nine innings this season with a sparkling 0.98 WHIP and a 2.54 ERA. Cole will face the Mariners for the second time this season after allowing five hits and one unearned run through seven innings pitched on April 18. Cole should be active in all fantasy formats for Monday.
Gerrit Cole Posts 15th Start Of Eight-Plus K's
Jul. 25, 2018
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole struck out nine hitters while allowing only two runs in 6 1/3 innings Tuesday night against the Rockies. Cole now has struck out at least eight hitters in 15 of his 21 starts this season. The right-hander has been dominant all season and his WHIP still sits at an impressive 0.98. He currently is striking out a career-best 12.43 batters per nine innings and has 186 K's through only 133 2/3 innings this season. The 27-year-old is having a career year and is on pace to strike out 263 batters this season.

Gerrit Cole Hopes To Solve Second Half Woes
Jul. 18, 2018
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will hope to replicate his excellent first half of the season when he is scheduled to pitch next Tuesday against the Rockies. Cole is currently 10-2 with a 2.52 ERA, a 0.98 WHIP and 177 strikeouts through 128 1/3 innings pitched. Cole will look to do what he has failed to do the past several seasons: finish up the season strong. Cole is 13-16 in 38 second half starts with a 4.17 ERA since 2015. The good news for Cole this season is that his home/road splits are practically identical and he has struck out eight or more hitters in 14 of his 20 starts this season. Cole is one of the top pitchers in fantasy this season but will have a tough matchup next Tuesday pitching in the hitter-friendly Coors Field.

Gerrit Cole To Return And Start Saturday
Jul. 13, 2018
Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole will return from the bereavement list on Saturday and will start against the Tigers. To make room for him on the roster, outfielder Jake Marisnick was optioned to Triple-A Fresno on Friday. Marisnick made just one start and went 1-for-3 on Tuesday. He can obviously be ignored in fantasy leagues. Cole returns to a sparkling 9-2 record, 2.57 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and career-high 12.4 K/9. He's had a nice bounce-back year with his new team and returns to a juicy matchup against the Tigers. Make sure to get Cole back into your lineups.

Gerrit Cole Placed On Bereavement Leave
Jul. 10, 2018
Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole was placed on the bereavement list on Tuesday. Outfielder Jake Marisnick was recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. Cole has been one of the best pitchers in all of baseball this year and tossed six shutout innings with 11 strikeouts against the A's on Monday. It's unclear if he'll have to miss his final start before the All-Star break. Marisnick was hitting under .200 this year and is likely to just be outfield depth until Cole returns in three to seven days.
Gerrit Cole Goes For 10th Win Monday Night
Jul. 9, 2018
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole (9-2) will go for his 10th win Monday night when the team opens up a series with the A's. This will be the fourth time Cole has faced the A's already this season and is 2-0 with 27 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings pitched against them. He did get touched for two home runs and four earned runs in his last start against them on June 13 but Cole has been fairly solid pitching at home this season. In eight starts made at Minute Maid Park this season, Cole is 3-1 with a 2.91 ERA, a 0.89 WHIP with 76 strikeouts in only 52 2/3 innings pitched. Cole will face A's expected starter Frankie Montas Monday night, a pitcher that the Astros hit well in his previous start against them. Cole has a favorable matchup to pick up another win Monday night.

Gerrit Cole Allows Three Runs In No Decision Sunday
May. 27, 2018
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole allowed three runs through seven innings, striking out eight Sunday against the Indians. Cole's outing got off to a rocky start, allowing a two-run home run in the first inning to Jose Ramirez and then an RBI double to Greg Allen in the second inning. From that point Cole shut down the Indians, allowing only one hit the rest of the way. In a season of elite performances, Cole's performance wasn't his best but still kept his team in the game. His ERA took a bump up to a still-impressive 2.05 and now has struck out at least seven hitters in 10 of his 11 starts this season.

Gerrit Cole Has 3.18 Lifetime ERA Against Giants
May. 22, 2018
Houston Astros starter Gerrit Cole will take the ball Tuesday night as the team opens up an interleague series against the Giants. The former Pittsburgh Pirate is 4-1 lifetime against the Giants in six career starts with a 3.18 ERA. He faced them twice last season, getting burned for seven runs in 5 1/3 innings on June 30, but he bounced back with six innings of winning baseball in a 10-3 Pirates victory on July 24. Cole has been a completely different pitcher for the Astros to this point in the season. He has been absolutely dynamite with 93 strikeouts through only 61 2/3 innings with a sparkling 1.75 ERA and 0.79 WHIP. After a few down seasons, Cole has reverted back to his All-Star form of 2015 and seemingly has been competing with teammate Justin Verlander for who can outmaster the other. The Giants are a middle-of-the-road offense, at best, and Cole is a must-start in all formats for Tuesday's slate of games.
