48 Jacob deGrom SP

DeGrom (15-9) earned the win after allowing one run on five hits and two walks in seven innings Saturday against the Braves. He struck out seven.

The Braves scored their only run on a Freddie Freeman solo homer in the sixth inning, but otherwise deGrom was stellar. He's now allowed just three runs and racked up 17 strikeouts in 13 innings over his past two starts after struggling in his two starts prior. The 29-year-old deGrom will look to finish his year strong having already set career highs in wins (15), innings (195.1) and strikeouts (228). He'll take a 3.55 ERA into his next start, which is scheduled for Friday against the Nationals.

DeGrom gave up two runs on three hits and three walks in six innings while striking out 10 on Sunday, but he didn't factor into the decision as the Mets lost 10-5 to the Reds.

It was the second time in deGrom's last four starts that he punched out 10. Though he has 14 wins on the year, his 3.63 ERA, 10.6 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 continue to fly under the radar because he plays for the Mets. He's poised to finish another season as a high-end fantasy hurler.

DeGrom (14-9) was bombarded for nine runs -- six earned -- on 10 hits and a pair of walks over just 3.2 innings in a 9-1 loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.

The Mets' only ace left standing has been having a rough time of it lately, having been tagged for 24 runs (20 of those earned) over 31 innings spanning his last five starts -- four of which have resulted in defeat. This was deGrom's shortest outing of the season, and it certainly came at an inopportune moment for his fantasy owners. He'll start for the second time this week Sunday against the Reds with an eye on redemption.

DeGrom (14-8) was charged with four runs (three earned) on six hits over six innings in a losing effort against the Reds on Thursday. He struck out five and walked three batters.

It goes down as a quality start, but deGrom wasn't as sharp in this one as he normally is. He issued walks to the likes of Patrick Kivlehan and Stuart Turner and gave up a homer to Scooter Gennett, lifting his August ERA to 3.92. DeGrom had back-to-back sub-3.00 ERA months coming into August and he's still top-10 in the National League in most traditional pitching categories, so he should remain a fixture in fantasy lineups over the season's final month.

DeGrom (14-7) allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out 10 over 7 .2 innings to earn the win Friday against the Nationals.

DeGrom held the National scoreless until allowing a run in the eighth inning, but he left the contest with a two-run lead that the bullpen was able to protect. After allowing five runs in two consecutive starts, he was able to get back on track against his division rivals. It's likely that his poor outings were merely a hiccup, and he should be able to finish the season on a strong note and help fantasy managers down the stretch. He'll make his next start Thursday against the Reds.
