The San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ian Kennedy maintains a .198 ERA versus opposing batters of the Miami Marlins, making him an excellent play for your Friday Daily Fantasy Baseball (July 31).
Over this time he has allowed just 18 hits in 91 at bats, only one of those being a homerun.
Kennedy (6-9) beat the Marlins with six innings of one-run ball Saturday. He struck out seven while scattering seven hits and one walk.
ESPN.com does not that, while his 8.31 K/9 may be nice, “Kennedy’s maddening inability to pitch late into games has limited his strikeout total to just 89 in 18 starts”.
