Jacob deGrom's 2018 season has been incredible -- both for his performance and for the incongruity of that performance with the results he's had to show for it.
The Mets' ace, a National League Cy Young Award frontrunner, entered action Wednesday with a Major League-best 1.85 ERA as the season moves toward the stretch run. But his record was just 5-7. The Mets have lost 14 of his 22 starts.
Five wins is a mind-bogglingly low total for a pitcher who has been as dominant deGrom. But how does it stack up to ERA champions through Major League history?
