Jordan Montgomery has pitched well since joining the Texas Rangers but has struggled in his last two outings both against the Minnesota Twins. He failed to record 18 outs in those games, but prior to that, he had done so in 12 straight starts.

Texas Rangers vs. Oakland Athletics Prediction
Today, he’s got a much friendlier matchup against an Oakland Athletics lineup that ranks 26th in pitches seen per plate appearance (3.84), 24th in batting average (.234), and 19th in wRC+ (92) versus left-handed pitching.
The Rangers had to go deep in their bullpen in their series versus the Houston Astros, so they can really benefit from a deeper outing for Montgomery tonight. He’s in a great position for a bounce-back start, and I’m backing him to record over 17.5 outs.
