Game 87 Preview: Tampa Bay Rays @ New York Mets

Possibly the best starting pitcher in the National League, DeGrom has been incredibly dominant thus far in the 2018 season. However, he has shown to be a mere mortal his past two times out as he has tallied six innings pitched and three runs allowed in both starts. His last start came on the 30th against Miami where he surrendered three runs on six hits — one home run — while he walked one and struck out eight over six innings pitched.

In 2018, he has relied primarily on his Fourseam Fastball (96mph) and Slider (91mph), also mixing in a Change (89mph), Sinker (96mph) and Curve(83mph).
