Frankie Montas News
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas allowed two unearned runs with seven strikeouts in a no-decision versus Seattle on Wednesday. Montas allowed just three hits and two walks in what was likely his last start of the 2021 season. The right-hander finished strong as he allowed three runs or fewer in all but one outing since the start of July. He posted a 2.17 ERA in the second half and allowed a minuscule .199 batting average against him in that span. For the season, Montas had a strong 29.2% CSW rate and generated a career-best 13.7% swinging-strike rate so his success should be sustainable heading into 2022.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas allowed one earned run over seven innings during a 14-2 victory over the Houston Astros on Friday. The 28-year-old gave up two hits, three walks, and two runs (one earned) while striking out eight during the quality start. The right-hander has put together a strong season, going 13-9 with a 3.48 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 200 strikeouts across 181 innings. The A's ace will take the ball one last time during the regular in a rematch with the Astros next Friday in Houston.
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Frankie Montas was brilliant on Sunday as he fired seven shutout innings versus the Angels. Unfortunately, the A's bullpen couldn't hold the lead, but it was an encouraging outing for Montas after getting roughed up in his last start. The right-hander did walk four batters, but he allowed just one hit while picking up seven strikeouts while throwing 62 of 87 pitches for strikes. Montas has been one of the best pitchers in baseball in the second half of the season as he's got a 2.34 EA and a .210 batting average against since the All-Star break. In that span, Montas is third in baseball in swinging-strike rate and eighth in strikeout rate, so he has fully supported his recent success. Montas is a must-start pitcher in fantasy, though a tough matchup with Houston waits next.

It has been a rocky couple of years for Oakland Athletics starting pitcherFrankie Montas, showing signs of brilliance at times but also dealing with a suspension in 2019 and injuries in 2020. His final line for last season was bad, with a 5.60 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. However, it is fair to chalk a lot of that up to a lack of health. Montas was pitching very well before he sustained his back injury, and he still showcased an elite splitter as well as a fastball with great velocity. Those two pitches are a great foundation, and he also has a sinker and slider to mix in with those two offerings. Despite all the issues, Montas has still posted a very strong 3.5 K/BB since 2019. Fantasy managers are showing hesitance to draft him, as he is currently going outside of the top-150 picks (160.09 ADP on NFC). He's only pitched six innings so far in Cactus League play but has looked sharp. He's got a 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 6:1 K/BB ratio and has induced a ton of swinging strikes with his splitter. He recently told reporters that he's been able to throw all of his offerings for strikes as he's fully recovered from the back issue that plagued him last season. If Montas has a healthy 2021 season, he will likely obliterate his ADP, making him one of the best pitchers to roll the dice on.
