Jordan Montgomery (10-11, 3.25 ERA) vs. Logan Gilbert (13-7, 3.75 ERA)
Jordan Montgomery of the Texas Rangers has been an exemplar of consistency this season. Although his overall record may have been 10-11, his 3.25 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 182.2 innings paint a more accurate portrait. With 161 strikeouts against only 172 hits allowed and 17 home runs given up thus far, Montgomery is capable of keeping batters off-balance while remaining under his command; yet occasionally falling prey to long balls that lead to 17 homers allowed. With his veteran experience and southpaw advantage combined together make him an intriguing watch – especially against Seattle Mariners’ lineup!
Logan Gilbert of the Seattle Mariners has been nothing short of amazing this season, posting an impressive 13-7 record with an enviable 3.75 ERA and 1.09 WHIP that speak volumes of his effectiveness. Of particular note is his impressive strikeout ability – with an amazing 184 Ks in just 200 innings, his power to overpower batters is evident; yet 27 homers allowed indicate his tendency to leave pitches hanging which may expose some vulnerability against teams like Texas Rangers where Gilbert faces formidable competition with its formidable lineup.
MLB Odds/Point Spread: Seattle Mariners -113, Total Odds: 7.5
