What It Means:

deGrom was initially scheduled to pitch Friday, but Jason Vargas will now toe the rubber instead. The 30-year-old right-hander owns a 3.68 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with 36 strikeouts and 7 walks over 22 innings this season. He's given up 9 combined runs in the past two starts after tossing back-to-back shutouts to begin the year.

numberFire's models expect deGrom to twirl a 2.82 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 249 punchouts and 47 walks over the rest of the season.
