After an otherworldly start, Noah Syndergaard is pitching at mere human levels in the second half, recording a 26.6% strikeout rate and 8.3% walk rate in that span. The fact that those numbers are a fairly significant drop from his first-half totals (30.4% strikeout rate and 4.3% walk rate) tell you just how special Syndergaard was as the start of the season.
The strikeout potential always gives Syndergaard a high ceiling, and he's our third-ranked arm for his matchup at the Washington Nationals. The New York Mets' fireballer hasn't had a single-game swinging-strike rate in the single digits since May 28th, and he's had just three such games all season.
Washington's 3.28 implied total is the lowest of the day, and the Nats have been cold of late, posting a .301 wOBA over the last 14 days.
