The odds of Mets stud starter Jacob deGrom not winning when his team scored 16 runs Monday against the last-place Phillies are astronomical.
It's time for the math professors to get to work.
deGrom was indeed saddled with a no-decision after the worst performance of an otherwise brilliant career. He surrendered a career-high six earned runs in a career-low 2 2/3 innings before his merciful removal. He walked three, struck out three and allowed three home runs.
A three-run blast by Ryan Howard in the first set his demise in motion. Another by Domonic Brown in the third, followed by two walks, ended his night.
His ERA soared from 1,98 to 2.29 in the process.
