A’s (Montas) vs. White Sox (Keuchel)
Yes, I admit it. You may have read in one of Rogers’ write-ups that in a fit of pique, Frankie Montas (9-8, 3.98) was referred to as a ‘gas-bag’. These words and my opinion of him have bitten me several times since. Montas struggled in June but has been sharp of late, with an ERA of 2.61 since the all-star break. He has been especially good on the road and has an absolute ton of strikeouts in his past few games. He is backed by an equally effective bullpen, with a collective ERA of 1.67.
The Sox’ Dallas Keuchel (7-6, 4.48) has not been as sharp. While I will draw the line at calling him names, he is 0-3 since the all-star break with an ERA of 5.40.
The White Sox have one of the larges run differentials in the MLB, but they are riding a mini slump, having lost 4 of 5. They have a negative record when facing the AL West. Off a rare loss yesterday, the A’s are 8-2 in their last ten games. They are 27-16 vs left-handed starters and a very good road team. They are also 16-4 vs the AL central division.
A’s are basically a pick today, and are my choice in this game. Take Oakland to win outright.
