3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill went 5 1/3 innings pitched and allowed just one earned run while striking out six in the Mets 2-1 win over the Braves on Wednesday. Megill, who allowed just five hits and one walk, did not factor into the decision. Megill now owns an impressive 2.04 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and 39 strikeouts over 35 1/3 IP in seven starts. Megill has posted the third-lowest ERA in Mets history for a starter within their first seven career starts, behind only Nolan Ryan and Terry Leach. Even more impressively, Megill has allowed one or zero runs in each of his last five starts, a feat which had only been accomplished once before in Mets history by Doc Gooden in 1984. Megill should be a solid fantasy option going forward in both redraft and, certainly, dynasty formats. Though there is talk the Mets will attempt to acquire another starting pitcher prior to the trade deadline, the Mets would be hard-pressed to remove Megill from the rotation given his stellar performance.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
