FACTS/FLUKES: Syndergaard, Lauer, Contreras, DeJong, Belt

Syndergaard falling short of expectations... Noah Syndergaard (RHP, NYM) has managed to stay healthy in 2019, and could get to 200 innings for the first time in his career. A 4.06 ERA isn't quite what owners expected from him, though. How are the skills holding up?
