FACTS/FLUKES: deGrom, Nova, Turner, Difo, Hundley

deGrom better than ever... As the eighth pitcher off the board in NFBC drafts this season, everyone knew Jacob deGrom (RHP, NYM) was a frontline starter. But he's taken his game to another level in 2018, and despite somehow having just eight wins to his name, he looks like the heavy favorite to take home NL Cy Young honors. Can he be expected to continue to dominate at this level?
