Jacob deGrom (back) penciled in to start for Mets in second game of regular season
New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom (back) is slated to start against the St. Louis Cardinals in the second game of the season on March 31.
If not for a minor back injury that he's been dealing with this spring, deGrom likely would have received the call for Opening Day, but Noah Syndergaard will toe the rubber instead. The 29-year-old right-hander recorded a 3.53 ERA last season while setting a pair of career-highs with 239 strikeouts over 201 1/3 innings.
numberFire's models project deGrom to record a 3.63 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 28.4 strikeout percentage while going 14-10 across 201 innings this season.
