This outing nudges his ERA up to 4.60 and WHIP to 1.40 for the season, continuing a trend of middling performances. With a K/9 of just 6.3 and a FIP of 5.19, Montas is showing signs that he might not turn the corner anytime soon. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on him as anything more than a matchup-dependent play, given his current form and the lack of strikeouts, which caps his upside significantly.

He allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out just one over five innings. This performance underscores a troubling trend for Montas, whose season ERA now sits at 4.37 with a WHIP of 1.37. His strikeout rate remains low at 6.4 K/9, and his FIP at 5.60 suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his reduced strikeout ability and high FIP indicate potential ongoing issues that could hurt his value in all formats.

His 7.5 K/9 and 4.44 FIP suggest some volatility, but his performance against Arizona demonstrates his potential to dominate on the mound at times.
