DeGrom allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom closed out the first half by logging quality starts in seven of his last eight outings, going 5-0 with 12 runs allowed over 49 innings in that span. He was a bit unfortunate Saturday, serving up solo home runs to Jose Altuve and Yainer Diaz, which makes this deGrom's fourth outing with multiple homers allowed. He's still been otherwise dominant -- and more importantly, healthy -- in 2025, posting a 2.32 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 113:24 K:BB across 112.1 innings over 19 starts. He's already at his heaviest workload since 2019, so it'll be something to keep an eye on with how he holds up after the All-Star break.

DeGrom completed five innings against the Angels on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom gave up three runs over his first two frames and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the third. He settled down after that and retired seven of the final eight batters he faced, but the early struggles resulted in an elevated pitch count, and deGrom was pulled after having thrown 95 pitches over five innings. Though the right-hander's 14-game streak of allowing two or fewer runs came to an end, he extended his streak of starts without a loss to seven. DeGrom was an easy choice for an All-Star berth, as he's compiled a 2.29 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 105:23 K:BB over 106.1 innings. He's scheduled for one more start before that exhibition contest, slated for this weekend in Houston.

DeGrom (9-2) notched the win Tuesday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
The star right-hander extended his streak of quality starts to six, tossing at least six innings while yielding two runs or fewer each time during this stretch. DeGrom served up a home run Tuesday for the first time in his last six outings, but he did fan at least six on the fifth occasion during this period. Over 101.1 innings in 2025, deGrom boasts a 2.13 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 100:21 K:BB and is tentatively projected to take the ball next week against the Angels in Anaheim.

DeGrom (8-2) earned the win Wednesday over the Orioles, allowing one hit and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was nearly untouchable Wednesday -- he held the Orioles hitless through seven innings before Colton Cowser led off the eighth with a single. It's the fifth straight quality start for deGrom, who's gone 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA in that span (32 innings). His ERA is down to a sparkling 2.08 on the season with a 0.91 WHIP and 94:20 K:BB across 16 starts (95.1 innings). DeGrom will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled as a home rematch with Baltimore.

DeGrom (7-2) earned the win against the Pirates on Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom retired the first 11 batters he faced before allowing two runs in the fourth inning. The 37-year-old generated 12 whiffs on 84 pitches and has now delivered four straight quality starts and 12 consecutive outings yielding two earned runs or fewer. He'll carry a 2.24 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 87:18 K:BB across 88.1 innings into a road matchup with the Orioles next week.

DeGrom settled for a no-decision after throwing six innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six during Saturday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom turned in another great performance in a season full of them, allowing two or fewer runs in five or more innings pitched for the 11th straight start. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he hasn't even allowed more than five hits in a game since late April. The 36-year-old has a 2.19 ERA, 7th-best in MLB. He'll have a chance to continue that domination during the struggling Pirates offense, which he is scheduled to face in his next start.

DeGrom (6-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings against Washington. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was virtually unhittable against the Nationals on Saturday. The right-hander's fastball might be down a few ticks, but he's been as dominant as ever, posting a 1.66 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across 43.1 innings in his last seven starts. With a 2.12 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 76.1 innings in 13 starts, the 36-year-old is reasserting himself as one of the game's premier pitchers in 2025.

DeGrom (5-2) earned the win Sunday over the Cardinals, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom issued a leadoff walk in the first inning to Lars Nootbaar, who eventually came around to score on Willson Contreras' two-out single. However, deGrom limited the damage from there, holding the Cardinals scoreless over his final five frames to earn his fifth win and quality start. The 36-year-old deGrom hasn't had his swing-and-miss stuff recently, though he's found success regardless -- he held St. Louis to just two hard-hit balls Sunday. Overall, deGrom sports a 2.34 ERA with a 0.98 WHIP and 66:17 K:BB across 12 starts (69.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Nationals on the road in his next outing.

DeGrom (4-2) took the loss Monday against the Blue Jays after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in 5.1 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
It was notably the first time in deGrom's illustrious career that he was unable to register a single punchout, as he whiffed just three Monday. Even so, it was the star right-hander's eighth consecutive start throwing at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer, and he boasts a 1.85 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 49:8 K:BB covering his last 48.2 frames. Manager Bruce Bochy noted after the game that deGrom was pulled after 81 pitches as a precaution after racking up high pitch counts in his last two starts, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com. Next up for deGrom is a tough matchup at home versus the Cardinals, which is set to come this weekend.

DeGrom's average arm angle in 2025 is at 30 degrees, the lowest its been in five years since Statcast began tracking arm angles, David Adler of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The lower arm angle appears to be working for deGrom, who is delivering results similar to what he did during his Cy Young seasons of 2018 and 2019. "When [my arm angle] climbs," deGrom said this week, "I noticed I got a little bit more sore. So I was just trying to do what's best for health. And now I feel like with the slot that I'm at right now, I've been able to recover really well in between." Over his last three starts, the right-hander struck out 10 over five innings against the Tigers, shut out the Astros through eight frames and then held the Yankees in check over seven innings.
