Gee evens record with Sunday win: Mets starting pitcher Dillon Gee was backed by early run support during Sunday's 6-5 win against the Blue Jays. The Mets scored three times before Gee even took the mound in the first and he had a 4-0 lead entering the bottom of the second. That gave Gee plenty of breathing room as he allowed three runs on five hits and four walks in 6 2/3 innings. Gee (3-3) allowed a solo homer to Jose Bautista leading off the third inning and struck out six. Gee threw 67 of 113 pitches for strikes. (Updated 05/20/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Gee needed a good start after getting blasted for a 9.00 ERA and .353 opponents' batting average in his previous two starts. Gee has lacked consistency to begin the 2012 season, which is why he owns a 5.44 ERA after eight starts. Although, Gee has been a bit unlucky thus far. Heading into Sunday, he had a .346 BABIP, which was well above his career average of .278. Gee is probably looking toward a market correction for the better at some point, but he still has low-end Fantasy appeal. He will be back on the hill Friday against the Padres. Gee won his only start against San Diego last season, allowing one run in 6 2/3 innings. (Updated 05/20/2012).
05/09/2012 22:20 Mets rally again, complete sweep of Phils
Ike Davis hit a three-run homer, Andres Torres also connected and the New York Mets beat the Phillies 10-6 on Wednesday night to complete their first three-game sweep in Philadelphia in six years.
For the first three months of 2011, Dillon Gee was a whiz for Fantasy owners, getting the call to replace an injured Chris Young in mid-April and responding with numbers far greater than anything he ever put up in the minors. His 8-1 record and 3.32 ERA through the end of June made him a popular claim off the waiver wire and seemingly a building block for the Mets’ starting rotation. But just when he was beginning to make a name for himself in Fantasy, oh, gee, the NL caught up to him. He had only six quality starts the rest of the way, posting a 5.42 ERA in 15 starts over the final three months. With the rebuilding Mets still lacking alternatives for their starting rotation, Gee is almost guaranteed a spot entering 2012, giving him the opportunity to rebound from his miserable second half. Unfortunately, neither his pedigree nor his minor-league track record suggests he has the ability. If you're into swingmen of the Kyle Kendrick variety, Gee might be the guy for you, but otherwise, you can leave him for NL-only leagues. (Updated 1/11/12)
