Taking the ROYALS here. Ok. As I am doing this write up I do have the Marlins over the KC here on Thursday night. No matter the outcome, KC is either going to be 15-3 or 14-4 their last 18 games. Ian Kennedy a big part of the run as he posted a .67 August ERA in 4 starts. A .85 WHIP along with a .170 BA against goes a long way in producing wins. Now. Disclaimer alert. I do have Steven Wright in my fantasy league! That being said. I normally fade guys coming off the DL. Even a young knuckle-baller. The kid has a 3.01 ERA on the year and is 13-5. So he isn't some stiff. But he hasn't been as sharp at home. Yes he is 7-1, but with an ERA over 4. He had an ERA over 6 in July before pitching a SHO before hitting the DL. Again. I really can't know the youngsters season or stats. I just have to take the value on a red hot pitcher and team against a pitcher coming back from shoulder inflammation. 4* Money Maker KC ROYALS
