Pitcher
Frankie Montas (OAK): $8,800 at DET
Montas is in a favorable spot tonight. He checks in as a -170 road favorite against a Tigers’ offense that ranks 27th in wRC+ (77) with the second-highest strikeout rate at 26.4%. Montas has been somewhat unlucky while failing to pick up a victory despite allowing just four earned runs through 16.1 innings (16 K) over his last three starts. He should find himself in the win column tonight with an excellent opportunity to post another quality start.
Other Pitchers to consider: Jacob deGrom (NYM), Joey Lucchesi (SD)
