Unlock Fantasy Gold: Why Tarik Skubal and These Unexpected Two-Start Pitchers Could Make or Break Your Week of May 19
Keider Montero (@ Cardinals, vs. Guardians)
Montero has had mixed results through his first five outings with the Tigers this season, posting a 4.68 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and an 18/11 K/BB ratio over 25 innings. Some of that can be chalked up to the sporadic nature of his starts, as he has been plucked from Triple-A Toledo anytime the team has had a doubleheader or wanted to give their rotation an extra day of rest. With Casey Mize (hamstring) shelved though, he’ll get a chance to settle in to his regular routine and make two starts on regular rest with the big league club during the upcoming week. He’s pitching for what’s currently the best team in baseball so his chances of earning a victory are high this week – and even higher if he’s used behind an opener like he was his last time out. The Cardinals have been great against right-handed pitching, so there’s some risk in that first start, but Montero looks like a decent streaming option overall for the week – someone who could approach double-digit strikeouts with a decent shot at earning a win. That’s enough for me to look his way in 15 and possibly in 12 team formats as well.
