Syndergaard is getting 4.4 runs of support on average. deGrom is getting 1.5.
He hasn't played enough to qualify for the leaderboards yet, but seriously, the guy has a 2.34 FIP. The best in our conference is a 3.04 Curt Schilling, and he's 6-0 on a team that's 10 games under .500.

Well, now he's on a roll, has won his last 3 starts. 5th in the conference in WAR despite being about 13 innings short of qualifying for the rate stat leaderboards (if he did qualify, he'd be 5th in ERA and leading FIP by a lot). Syndergaard is rolling too, he's 9-1, 5th best ERA in the conference, 2nd in FIP, 1st in WAR, 5th in Ks. Though we're 53-35 (and up by 10 1/2 in the division) there's a real chance that Syndergaard may be my only all star (in our first season we only had one all star and we took the championship series to game 7 that season). And he was only in 5th place among starters in the last voting update; other than him we just have 3 position players in third place at their positions (Grandal, Carpenter, Murphy). We're on a 15-3 run right now. Still haven't settled on a fifth starter, Severino and Strasburg are both 0-2 in 3 starts with ERAs over 6.
Black Panthers (F2P) are 48-41 in Bronze and leading their division, they're on a 12-3 run. Despite our success not a single one of our players was included in the last all star voting update.
Golden Lions (F2P) kinda stink, 39-49 in Bronze. Pitching isn't bad (actually the starters are very mediocre but the bullpen is excellent), but our all-gold infield of Rizzo, Tatis, Harvey Kuenn, and Tony Perez hasn't resulted in a lot of scoring unfortunately. Just one player showing up on the all star voting updates, Tatis.
