Montgomery (1-3) picked up his first win of the year Tuesday, holding the Padres scoreless on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
With a 2.26 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 51.2 innings, Montgomery looks relatively attractive on the surface, but the numbers aren't so pretty when you dig deeper. His 6.8 K/9 and 4.5 BB/9 are both subpar figures, and Montgomery has gotten lucky in terms of both BABIP and HR/FB rate. The lefty's done a great job keeping the ball on the ground, but even so, he won't be able to outpitch his peripherals forever.
