Jacob deGrom DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom delivered an excellent performance in a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 loss against the New York Yankees. The two-time Cy Young winner fired seven innings of three-hit, two-run ball with nine strikeouts against one walk. Although deGrom pitched well enough to earn the victory, the Rangers' bullpen surrendered a pair of runs in a 4-3 defeat. The 36-year-old has now allowed two or fewer earned runs and totaled at least five innings in seven consecutive starts. DeGrom owns a sterling 2.33 ERA with 62:12 K:BB through 58 innings, making him a must-start each time he takes the ball. He's scheduled to face the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom tossed a gem on Thursday, shutting out the Houston Astros for eight innings and picking up his fourth win of the season in a 1-0 victory. The righty was dominant in this one, allowing just five hits and a walk while punching out seven. He threw a season-high 96 pitches, and the velocity on his fastball and slider were both up, two signs that he is beginning to feel like his old self. Even with deGrom returning from Tommy John surgery, he has been one of the best pitchers in the majors this year. He has a 4-1 record to go with a 2.29 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 53 strikeouts in 51 IP. The 36-year-old might not be the most dominant pitcher in the league like he once was, but he is still one of the best when he takes the mound. His next start should come Wednesday in New York in a tough matchup against the Yankees.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom had his swing-and-miss stuff going for him during Saturday's start against the Detroit Tigers. The right-hander gave up a solo home run to Kerry Carpenter in the first inning, but settled down after that. He was taken deep once again in the fourth inning by Riley Greene, but deGrom was able to limit the damage. He went five innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits while striking out 10 batters in the win. Over the last five starts, deGrom has allowed two earned runs or less in every outing. He'll take a 2.72 ERA into his next start against the Houston Astros.
