We’re now five days into the 2021 regular season, which means that we’re also five days into each team’s pitching rotation. Normally, this is where DFS players like to fill their team with bats and try to find the one or two pitchers who aren’t expected to implode.
It’s quite different this time.
The New York Mets’ season was delayed throughout the weekend due to COVID-19 concerns from their opponent, and it pushed the team’s Opening Day to Monday. More importantly, it pushes Jacob deGrom’s first start of the season to Monday. As you’ll soon discover in the pitching section, it’s a case of “deGrom and Company.”
Of course, we should never fully accept whatever we see at face value without digging a little deeper, so be prepared for other pitchers besides deGrom to have solid outings. That means the opposing lineups in some games are still off-limits.
