he still did win 3 of those last 4 games so he did cash in those starts even if he only gave up 1 run.. 3 out of 4 is not unusual..
and yes every pitcher faces weak teams but september starts and hitting stats are always taken with a grain of salt against non contending teams....but yeah degrom was dominate in those meaningless games against non contending teams..... we have a very large sample size which shows that the mets were a losing team when he took the hill when they otherwise were a winning team and by a very large margin a winning team if take away the minus 4 with degrom
he still averaged over 4 runs of run support for Cy Young pitchers on winning teams (and better than just 82-80) ..getting 4+runs a game should mean a winning record in terms of team wins... ... .
