The Indians put Carrasco on the mound today, and he has been tremendous this season. He has a 1.07 WHIP and 2.49 ERA. Cleveland is also 10-3 when he has taken the mound. Kennedy takes the mound for the Royals, who has been solid, but hasn’t had much help with run support. That’s a common theme for KC. Kennedy can keep KC in the game, but Carrasco is likely to be too much for the Royals to deal with.
