**Frankie Montas: A Postseason Wild Card**
When the Milwaukee Brewers acquired Frankie Montas from the Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline, he was struggling with a 5.01 ERA and 1.44 WHIP. However, since joining the Brewers, Montas has turned his season around, recording a solid 3.55 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with an impressive 28.6% strikeout rate in nine starts. His leadership has been praised by the Reds’ coaching staff, and he has added a tick to his four-seam and two-seam fastballs. Montas has increased his swinging strike rate across the board, making him a reliable option for the Brewers’ playoff push.
**Injury Updates and Lineup Changes**
The Boston Red Sox have placed 3B Rafael Devers on the 10-day IL, ending his season. The club has called up 2B Mickey Gasper in a corresponding move. Meanwhile, the Washington Nationals have optioned SS CJ Abrams to the minors for disciplinary reasons. The New York Yankees have welcomed OF Juan Soto back to the starting lineup after a brief absence.
**Sunday’s Matchups**
RHP Shane Baz (18.8% rostered) is the top-ranked streaming option for his home date with the Toronto Blue Jays. Beware, however, as the Blue Jays don’t strike out a lot, so there is some risk. Next up is Houston Astros RHP Spencer Arrighetti (21.8%) for a juicy home tilt against the Los Angeles Angels. Cleveland Guardians RHP Gavin Williams is also worth watching as he looks to establish consistency in his outing against the St. Louis Cardinals.
**Betting Tip of the Day**
The Los Angeles Dodgers sport the highest implied run total on the board. Back Freddie Freeman for over 2.5 total hits + runs + RBI (+125) for a potentially lucrative wager.
