Jordan Montgomery (8-7, 6.23 ERA) vs. Frankie Montas (7-11, 4.5 ERA)
Coming into this contest, Jordan Montgomery of the Diamondbacks comes in with an unimpressive 6.23 ERA, which is likely disconcerting to fans. However, he has fanned a total of 77 batters over 112.2 innings. This flaw has the possibility of backfiring, especially against a Brewers lineup that has not performed well but can still take advantage of a pitcher who does tend to give up hits and walks.
Frankie Montas, the starters’ choice of the Brewers, has a bit better ERA in that he has an ERA of 4.5 over 144 innings of pitching. His experience and a WHIP of 1.34 suggest that he should be able to withstand the onslaught against the Diamondbacks’ hitters better compared to his opponent. Still, it remains a problem, considering the current form and confidence of the opposing team on the plate.
