3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill went only four innings on Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers, allowing four earned runs on five hits, including three home runs and four walks in the Mets 5-1 loss. Megill struck out only two batters en route to his sixth loss of the season, dropping his record to 3-6. After a superb July in which Megill posted a 1.04 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over five starts and 26 innings pitched, he has struggled in August and September despite sprinkling in a few quality starts over those two months. In September, Megill now owns a 1-3 record with a bloated 7.20 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 23 strikeouts over 20 innings in four starts. Megill's recent struggles could be attributed to fatigue, given the fact that he has now thrown 125 innings on the season between the majors and minors. His previous high was 71 2/3 innings in 2019 in the minors. Nonetheless, Megill showed his potential back in July and makes for a solid later-round selection in redraft formats heading into 2022. Fantasy managers in dynasty formats should hang on to Megill given his high strikeout potential (93 strikeouts in 84 2/3 IP) and his strong, consistent performance earlier this summer.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
