KC(-123) The phillies return from a ten game west coast swing where they are only16-22 -5.2.Kennedy dominated in his last outing against the Astros. In seven innings, he struck out 11 while giving up three hits, one walk and one run. He'll be looking to pick up back-to-back wins for the third time this year.
Kennedy records 8.09 K/9 while inducing 38% ground ball contact the phillies counter with Jeremy Hellickson who get hit hard with 17.8% HR/FB ratio je allows 30% hard contact with 24.4% line drive contact. Not good for a pitcher who hitters make contact 75% of the time!!the Royal can turn games into six inning games with there bull pen while the phillies bull pen is suspect at bes in my opinion.
