The St. Louis Cardinals acquired bowler Jordan Montgomery in the trade deadline from the New York Yankees. Their decision has already paid off. Montgomery started three games with the Cardinals, winning each one.

The Yankees have one of the best leagues in the league, and the Cardinals aren’t exactly lucky.
Help the Yankees Cardinals by trading them Jordan Montgomery
The Yankees have some of the best bowlers in MLB. They have the 3rd best ERA (3.30), opponent batting average (.218) and WHIP (1.11).
St. Louis is roughly the league average. They have 14 Best ERA (3.87), 17 Best OBA (.245) and 16 Best WHIP (1.26). Montgomery is now one of the best shooters in St. Louis, along with Miles Micholas.
This season, Mikolas has produced an ERA of 3.44, a BAA of .234 and a WHIP of 1.06. It did a similar rendering to Montgomery’s, but other than the two, the team could use a lot of development. The Yankees helped them greatly by abandoning Montgomery.
The Cardinals sit at the top of the NL Central standings with the Milwaukee Brewers behind them. According to FanGraphs, St. Louis has an 85 percent chance of making the playoffs. It is possible that the trade with the Yankees boosted their chances even more.
