Mike Montgomery to Make First Start of the Season Monday versus Pirates
Mike Montgomery is making his first start of the season on Monday in Pittsburgh, filling in for the injured Yu Darvish. Montgomery has had a rough start to 2018, but as a starter in his Cubs career, Montgomery has a 3.94 ERA and 80 strikeouts in 93.2 innings. On one hand, the Pirates have been slumping lately, scoring only 2.67 runs per game over their last 15 contests, and play in a pitcher friendly ballpark. On the other hand, the Cubs have to quickly turnaround from a night game Sunday to a day game Monday and lose an hour to the time-zone change, making Montgomery a risky streaming option.
