There are times when a guy is performing well but you know in the back of your head that he won't pan out like he wants you to believe. Right now, that guy is Ian Kennedy who went 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 7 Hits, 1 BB, 10 Ks against the Cards last night. I took a quick peek at this game, and his stuff was looking as good as ever with great command around the zone. It's his second fantastic outing in a row and it may look like he's a new pitcher. The numbers will tell you that across his last 13 starts since 6/13, Kennedy has a 2.42 ERA, 89.31 K/9, and a 2.54 BB/9. Problem is that his FIP is around 4.50 and xFIP near 4.00 in that span. I want to be encouraged and if I needed some help I may lean to rolling the dice in future streaming matchups with Kennedy, but I'm not going to join the crew of people that believe he's turned over a new leaf. It's the same one, just lost a little chlorophyll.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
