Kyle Kendrick Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Manny Machado (130 wRC+, .236 ISO vs RHP since 2015) projects as top bat vs Kyle Kendrick (7 HRs in 27 AAA IP)
The Orioles are projected only behind the offense they are facing tonight (4.8 runs) against Kyle Kendrick, who hasn't pitched in the majors since 2015, when he had an ERA and FIP over six, but somehow merited a promotion with seven HRs allowed in 27 innings at AAA. Such is the state of the Boston pitching staff. While it is chilly in Boston tonight with temperatures in the mid-50s winds 11 mph out to left), expectations are for a pummeling tonight with Manny Machado (130 wRC+, .236 ISO vs RHP since 2015) nearly a must have bat (176 wRC+, 68.4 Hard% over the last week). Additionally, Adam Jones (114 wRC+, .200 ISO vs RHP since 2015) and Seth Smith (119 wRC+, .191 ISO vs RHP since 2015) projecting as top values on FanDuel, while Smith also earns honors on DraftKings as well (2.16 Pt/$/K) according to the RotoGrinders Player Projections. This is a strongly stackable lineup with the possible exception of the Catcher position. Even J.J. Hardy merits consideration on FanDuel for just $2.1K.
