4-5, 4.25 ERA, 68 SO
The Mets are about to find out how valuable Vargas is. He’s gone 2-4 with a 3.67 ERA in 10 starts since the beginning of May, striking out 49 batters in 56 1/3 innings. Will that be enough to tempt a contender into trading for the veteran lefty?
LHP
8-3, 4.10 ERA, 89 SO
Perez stumbled late, but was otherwise dominant to finish the first half against the Rangers. He allowed four hits through six scoreless before coughing up four runs in the seventh inning. He allowed three runs in relief to the Mets on April 10.

Darvish is coming off possibly his best start with the Cubs. While his first win at Wrigley eluded him, his stuff was dominant. Darvish allowed just two hits in his six scoreless innings. He struck out eight Pirates and allowed one walk in the no-decision.
