His walks and homers are up. Peripherals say he won't stay there. Honestly it doesn't even matter to me, as his and Ross rotation spots are pointless at this point. Unless the Braves or Miami pull off a couple of monster trades, the Nats can win the division easily with the rotation they have. And in the playoffs, you don't care about your 4th and 5th starters.
Last year Gio's ERA was almost a run higher than his FIP. This year his FIP is significantly higher than his ERA. Peripherals can sometimes be too abstract. They are in this case.
