Montas Shines, But No Decision in Tight Contest
by Jesse Garcia | Brewers Correspondent | Thu, Aug 15th 7:26am EDT
Frankie Montas delivered a solid performance, allowing zero earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings in Wednesday's narrow 5-4 victory over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his strong outing, Montas didn't factor into the decision, a recurring theme that might frustrate fantasy managers given his season-long struggles with a 4.86 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. His performance in this game, particularly his ability to keep runs off the board, could be a sign of turning things around, but his high ERA and WHIP still loom large for fantasy managers considering him for their rotations. Montas's decent strikeout rate (8.0 K/9) continues to be a silver lining, yet his overall inconsistency this season makes him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
