Jacob deGrom named Mets' Opening Day starter against Washington

New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom will start in Opening Day's matchup against the Washington Nationals.

What It Means:

According to manager Luis Rojas, deGrom will take the mound against their divisional rivals on Opening Day. New York's 33-year old ace is coming off a stellar season, accounting for a 2.26 Fielding Independent Metric and 104 strikeouts in 68 innings pitched.

As FanDuel Sportsbook's top contender for the National League Cy Young at an implied 20.8% (+380), our models currently project deGrom to produce a 2.94 ERA and 265 strikeouts in 205 innings pitched.
