Dellin Betances shuts the door

Dellin Betances pitched a perfect ninth to earn the save against the Mets on Thursday. Betances was asked to clean up Bryan Mitchell's mess and notched his eighth save of the season. He has a 2.15 ERA and 1.20 WHIP this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Bryan Mitchell allowed a grand slam in a 7-1 game and Betances, not closer Aroldis Chapman, was asked to clean up the mess. This could be because of Chapman's hamstring, but it could also be because Betances has allowed just three base runners in eight innings this month, striking out 11 batters. It is too early to say that saves are shifting in New York, but Betances' value is sky-high.
