Colon shuts down Marlins in Mets win
In another crucial game for the surging Mets, 42 year-old Bartolo Colon tossed eight innings of dominant baseball, allowing just one run on seven hits, striking out five and walking none.
Colon was on his game, which was a great sign for the Mets, who have watched him struggle for his last six starts prior to this game. On the season, his ERA sits at a still-unimpressive 4.72, but the advanced stats tell a different story about his year - he's sporting a 3.68 FIP and 3.74 xFIP. His record is now 10-10, and while he certainly comes with inherent risk as a fantasy option, he seems to rise to the occasion in crucial games such as the one last night.
With the win, the Mets are now in sole possession of first place in the National League East. With their current record of 56-50, we project them to finish at 87-75, giving them a 69% playoff likelihood and 6.3% World Series chance.
