Latest from Rotoworld: Montgomery gave up three runs (one earned) over 4 1/3 innings against the Orioles on Monday. Montgomery deserved some better luck in the third inning, but he labored for the most part while giving up eight hits and a walk. He was pulled in the fifth inning after reaching 100 pitches. The southpaw owns a 4.11 ERA and 48/19 K/BB ratio in 50 1/3 innings through his first nine starts in the majors.
Biagini limited the Rangers to two runs over six innings Sunday in a loss. Biagini did his part, striking out seven batters and issuing only one walk over six strong innings, but Toronto’s offense was only able to manage one run of support in the afternoon loss at Rogers Centre. Biagini now holds a sharp 3.64 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 37/9 K/BB ratio in 42 innings (five starts, 14 relief appearances) this season for the Blue Jays.
Bet Today’s Yankees vs. Blue Jays Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Yankees are a perfect 5-0 in their last five games coming off a loss and are 6-2 in their last eight games versus a right-handed starter. On the other side, the Blue Jays have lost eight of 10 games versus a left-handed starter and Biagini struggled mightily with the Yankees in his last appearance against New York. He allowed three runs on four hits over just 1 2/3 innings of work on May 3. With Aaron Judge red-hot, the Yankees are a nice underdog play vs. the Blue Jays.
