KC Royals starter Chris Young has allowed just three runs in 22 innings so far this year. In this two starts of 6 and 5 innings, respectively, Young permitted just 3 hits and zero runs. Not too shabby.
Better still, he’s only allowed 16 hits on 92 at bats against the current Yankees roster. He’s been priced around $2800 but will probably be a tad higher for this one. Great secondary pitcher for your daily fantasy roster.
Even at 5-0, Michael Pineda did start off the season slow and has since lowered his ERA to 2.72 and sports an incredible 54:3 K:BB ratio. He’s in danger of a let down here.
Also Consider….
Jacoby Ellsbury – He’s hot right now and the only player on New York’s roster with a proven record against Young.
Mike Moustakas has eight hits in six of his most recent games. He also has a homerun against Pineda in 7 at bats.
