DeGrom (7-7) was ripped for five runs on a dozen hits -- including three homers -- and two walks over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The third-year hurler has been one of the best in baseball as usual this year -- up until his last two starts, that is. In a span of just 9.2 innings against the Giants and Cards, deGrom has allowed 13 runs on an astounding 25 hits, ballooning his ERA and WHIP away from elite status. Unlike other pitchers who have struggled recently, deGrom doesn't seem to be hiding an injury; he's just been throwing balls straight down the pipe lately. The Mets may look to push his next start back a day or skip his turn in the rotation once just to get him a bit of extra rest to get his location right again, so his fantasy owners should look out for news on that front. For now, he's scheduled to start Monday against Miami.
