4 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas had an interesting night for fantasy on Monday as he struck out 11 Mariners despite allowing four runs and taking the loss. Montas lasted six innings and threw 101 pitches, generating an eye-popping 21 swinging strikes. This start blew his ERA up to an unsightly 4.92 but his peripheral metrics indicate he is turning things around. His 11.2 percent swinging-strike rate is in line with his career average and his SIERA is a much more manageable 4.21. Montas is a solid start on Sunday against an Angels lineup that is missing Mike Trout.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
