Bettors Are Flocking To Ride Jacob DeGrom In His Season Debut Tonight

Even with all the craziness going on with the MLB Trade Deadline, a huge storyline for the league is the return of Mets ace Jacob DeGrom.

After lengthy injury rehab, DeGrom is set to make his first start of the season tonight, and being as it’s against the lowly Nationals (who just traded Juan Soto), the betting line for the game greatly favors the Mets.

Mets fans have been highly anticipating this day for a while now, and they’re hoping the team can acquire some more upgrades before the Trade Deadline to join Jacob DeGrom on the roster.

Even without “DeGOAT”, the Mets have been in the midst of an awesome season. So far, they’re sitting at a highly impressive 65-37 on the season, good for 3.5 gamers ahead of the Braves in the NL East.

It has been exciting times in Queens, and all eyes will be on Jacob DeGrom and the Mets tonight.
