If you’re not a baseball fan, I’ll just tell you this: a 0.56 ERA through 10 starts is absolutely fantastic. Actually, it’s the lowest ERA through the first 10 starts of a season since “earned runs” became an official, recognized statistic back in 1913.
Just so you know, allowing four total earned runs while recording five RBIs through 10 starts is additionally sensational.
This is the success Mets ace Jacob deGrom has garnered thus far in the 2021 MLB season. Opposing batters are looking silly, fans are in awe, and evidently, sportsbooks are noticing — deGrom is the favorite to win the National League MVP Award at multiple books.
