Bartolo Colon wasn’t traded at the deadline, so he’ll be making the start for the Mets on Sunday. Colon leads the Mets in WAR at 1.9, despite having the team’s worst ERA at 3.88.

8/4 – SF Tim Hudson vs. NYM Dillon Gee | Avg. Price: $73.02 | Get-in Price: $16
The final game of the series has an average price of $73.02 and a get-in price of $16. It’s been a rough go of it for Dillon Gee since he’s made it off the disabled list. His last start he gave up two runs in close to seven innings before departing with the bases loaded. But a grand slam by the next batter left five earned runs on Gee’s line. But before the injury Gee was one of the more successful pitchers in baseball in terms of ERA, and even with the rough start he has a 3.77 ERA this season.
