DeGrom (5-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks across eight innings while taking the loss Monday against the Padres. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was electric in his first start since July 11, throwing first-pitch strikes to 26 of 31 batters as he was in the strike zone at a 73 percent clip. He allowed a pair of runs following an error in the fifth inning and gave up an unearned run in the sixth, which unfortunately was enough to sink him to his fifth loss. While the lack of victories in dominant performances such as this are likely frustrating to both DeGrom and his fantasy owners, he continues to pitch at an elite level and has impressively gone 17 straight starts with three earned runs or fewer. He'll next get the ball this weekend against the Pirates.

DeGrom will start Monday's tilt against the Padres following Sunday's rainout, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was slated to toe the rubber for Sunday's series finale against the Yankees, but he'll be bumped back a day due to inclement weather. He'll catch a break and face a much friendlier Padres lineup, after he was supposed to go up against one of the better teams in the American League. DeGrom is in line for two starts this week, as he'll pitch against San Diego and Pittsburgh.

DeGrom didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-1 win over the Rays, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over eight innings while striking out eight.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander threw 73 of 105 pitches for strikes and generated a massive 22 swinging strikes in a dominant performance, but once again the Mets' offense conspired to deny deGrom a win, waiting until the ninth inning to finally put away the Rays. He'll carry a stellar 1.79 ERA into his next outing Wednesday at home against the Phillies.

DeGrom (5-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over six innings while striking out eight as the Mets dropped a 5-2 decision to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander cruised through five scoreless innings before running into trouble in the sixth, serving up a two-run homer to Brian Anderson and then watching Wilmer Flores misplay a tapper down the first-base line by JT Riddle that allowed Justin Bour to score and put the Marlins up for good. DeGrom has now delivered nine straight quality starts for the Mets but somehow emerged with only a 2-4 record over that stretch, and he'll carry a 1.84 ERA into his next outing Friday at home against the Rays.

Manager Mickey Callaway said DeGrom will not pitch Friday due to family issues and instead will take the hill Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
In his place, Corey Oswalt will start Friday's series opener against the Marlins. In addition, Seth Lugo will transition into a bullpen role. Look for DeGrom to provide another quality outing versus Miami after holding them scoreless across seven innings of work during a late-May start.

DeGrom (5-3) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The three walks matched his season high and the six strikeouts tied for his third-lowest total in a start this season. Afterward, deGrom expressed frustration with how he threw the ball, telling Anthony DiComo of MLB.com that he wasn't able to locate, but even deGrom's off nights are better than most starters' good nights. He will take a 1.69 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 126:27 K:BB into next weekend's outing in Miami.

DeGrom (4-2) took the loss against the Braves on Wednesday, allowing one run on seven hits while striking out seven across seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom was perfect through three innings before running into some slight trouble in the fourth, allowing a trio of hits that resulted in the Braves taking a 1-0 lead. He quickly righted the ship and fired three scoreless innings before exiting, but it wouldn't be enough as the Mets once again failed to provide the right-hander with any run support. DeGrom remains stuck at four wins -- his last win came May 18 against the Diamondbacks -- despite his pristine 1.55 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 113:23 K:BB through 14 starts (87.1 innings) this season. Up next for the soon-to-be 30-year-old is a road start against the Rockies at hitter-friendly Coors Field.

DeGrom didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 7-1 extra-innings loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out 13.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander tied his season high in Ks while dropping his ERA to an NL-low 1.49, but it was all for naught once again as the Mets fell in 14 innings. With a 1.04 WHIP and 98:21 K:BB through 72.1 innings, deGrom is delivering ace-worthy fantasy numbers everywhere but in wins, where his 4-0 record stands in stark contrast to his eight quality starts in 12 outings. He'll next take the mound Saturday at home against the Yankees.

DeGrom didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Monday's double-header despite allowing just one run on five hits and three walks while striking out eight across seven innings against the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
DeGrom allowed his only run on a solo home blast to Tyler Flowers in the bottom of the seventh, but he departed the game with a 2-1 lead that the Mets' bullpen would later squander. He certainly pitched well enough to get the win, but even so, he owns a 4-0 record with a stellar 1.52 ERA across 11 starts this season. DeGrom will look for more run support in his next outing, which is likely to come Saturday against the Cubs.

DeGrom didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins, scattering four hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings while striking out eight.
EDGE Analysis
He also hit a couple of batters, but otherwise deGrom was sharp all night, throwing 70 of 109 pitches for strikes only to see Jeurys Familia blow the save in the ninth inning to deny him his fifth win of the season. The right-hander will take an NL-leading 1.54 ERA into his next outing Monday as part of a doubleheader in Atlanta.
