Jordan Montgomery News
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery had a rare bad outing Tuesday, getting roughed up by the Milwaukee Brewers to the tune of six runs (four earned) on seven hits and a walk in five innings. He struck out six batters. This is only the second disappointing performance since coming over to the National League, as Montgomery has a 2.05 ERA in his eight starts after being traded from the New York Yankees. The loss drops his record to 8-4 for the season. Fantasy managers can still count on Montgomery as a solid floor option.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery went the distance in Monday's 1-0 win over the Cubs, earning the win in a complete-game shutout. Montgomery needed just 99 pitches to get through nine innings on one hit and no walks with seven strikeouts. It was another bright spot for the 29-year-old this season, who is 7-3 with a 3.08 ERA in 25 starts with the Yankees and Cardinals. Montgomery has been a reliable fantasy pitcher all season long. His next matchup will be a tougher one against the Braves at home, but fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting him in most matchups given his success.
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery looked fantastic during Friday's start against the Milwaukee Brewers. The left-hander went six scoreless innings, four hits allowed, and struck out eight batters in the victory. The 29-year-old is looking like a great addition to the roster. He's currently carrying a 3.37 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 106 strikeouts across 125 2/3 innings this season. His next start is scheduled in St. Louis against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Fantasy managers should expect Montgomery to continue to succeed in that contest.

There weren't many expectations for Montgomery last season, as he came into the year expecting his first full workload since undergoing Tommy John surgery during the 2018 season. While Montgomery's ERA last season was inflated at 5.11, there are still some encouraging things about his profile baked into the more advanced metrics. His FIP (3.87), xFIP (3.65), and SIERA (3.84) all suggest a different pitcher than what the ERA would lead you to believe. Notably, Montgomery's 24.4% strikeout rate easily trumped his 19.8% rate during his last extended run in 2018. Additionally, he also made improvements with his command. His walk rate was among the lowest in the league at 4.7%, primarily due to more fastballs ending up in the strike zone than in 2018 (53.5% vs. 48.4%). That being said, Montgomery still did have a home run issue last season, and that is something that may not go away with him pitching in the American League East. A high home run rate could cause him trouble, but the projections peg Montgomery with somewhere around a 4.20 ERA , which would definitely be valuable, especially at his current ADP in the neighborhood of pick 220. Playing time should not be an issue, as he should be pegged as the Yankees' number three starter. Overall, Montgomery needs to shore up the consistency, but he should be a nice late-round option at starting pitcher.
