Despite a decent strikeout rate in this game, Montas's inability to go deep into the game and control issues continue to plague his season. With a 4.84 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 30 starts, his performance this year has been underwhelming for fantasy managers. The high FIP of 4.80 suggests that his struggles are somewhat reflective of his true performance level, rather than bad luck, indicating potential ongoing challenges in relying on him as a consistent fantasy starter.

Frankie Montas racked up 10 strikeouts but took the loss in Tuesday's 5-1 defeat to the Phillies. He allowed three earned runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings.

Despite a solid strikeout performance, Montas's season has been marred by inconsistency, as evidenced by his 4.50 ERA and 1.34 WHIP through 28 starts. His high strikeout rate remains appealing, but the elevated ERA and WHIP make him a risky play in fantasy lineups. Montas's ability to miss bats is undeniable, yet his overall effectiveness is diminished by his tendency to allow too many base runners and runs. Fantasy managers should consider him a matchup-dependent option moving forward.

This outing was a bright spot in what has been a rocky season for Montas, who leaves the game with a 4.49 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. His ability to suppress runs in this game could be a sign of turning things around, especially considering his solid strikeout numbers. Fantasy managers should note this performance as a potential indicator of late-season improvement, but given his overall season metrics, caution in expecting consistent outings like this would be wise.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the high strikeout total, Montas's inability to avoid the big inning ultimately cost him and the Brewers the game. His season-long issues with a 4.69 ERA and 1.37 WHIP continue to be a concern for fantasy managers. While the high strikeout rate (8.2 K/9) remains appealing, his inconsistent results and elevated ERA and WHIP make him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues. Montas's performance today is a microcosm of his season: flashes of brilliance overshadowed by periods of vulnerability.
