3. Keep Clobbering Kennedy
The Tribe has had some solid success against Royals Saturday starter Ian Kennedy, going 5-2 against the KC hurler and his ERA against the Indians is close to six at 5.90.
He was decent in 2016, but last season wasn’t very good, allowing 92 earned runs in 154 innings. He was 5-13 with a 5.38 ERA last year, but is looking to rebound in 2018.
Kennedy is still dangerous at times, as don’t forget this was a guy that was fourth in Cy Young voting back in 2011 when with the Diamondbacks he was 21-4 with a 2.88 ERA.
That was a lifetime ago in baseball, and today the Indians will try to keep Kennedy more like he was in 2017 than he was in 2016 when he won 11 games for KC.
