Jacob deGrom is about to have his toughest test on Wednesday since returning to the New York Mets rotation in early August. He’s set to face the major league-leading Los Angeles Dodgers in just his second start against a team outside of the National League East.
DeGrom has been solid in his month of action, which includes five starts for a 3-1 record, 2.15 ERA and incredible 46 strikeouts through 29 1/3 innings. The unstoppable force will meet immovable object when his Mets clash with the the best team in baseball that also happens to be the hottest.
