ARLINGTON -- The Mets have struggled of late, and not all of it can be attributed to a pitching staff that has the highest ERA in the Majors (5.01).
It's a steep dropoff for a pitching staff that ranked fourth and third, respectively, in the Majors in the same stat in 2015 and '16. Jacob deGrom and Matt Harvey, two of the Mets' three-headed monster that carried them to the World Series in 2015, have career highs in ERA. Noah Syndergaard, the third member, is likely out until August with a torn lat muscle.
