BALLER MOVE: Stream in Deep Mixed Leagues
OWNED IN: 51% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: Coming off a 9-15 year with the Padres, Ian Kennedy has been a revelation early on for the Kansas City Royals. Through three starts and 20 innings pitched this season, Kennedy has 21 strikeouts, just three earned runs and two victories. Entering his first two-start week of the season, he’s owned in 48% of Fleaflicker leagues. Beginning his week in Anaheim, he’ll take on of the weakest offenses in the league. The Angels currently rank in the bottom 10 in every major hitting category and have a losing record at home. His second start of the week should be a tougher one, as the Royals will travel to Seattle. With Kennedy rolling, however, the least you should expect of him is a quality start - something he’s done in each of his three starts thus far.
