OK with the DK price of -125 as well. KC has been K’ing a bunch - 4th in K%, 6th in swinging strike %, and 8/10 right handed starters have 6+ K’s against them this season. Morton has been shaky, albeit against two good offenses (SD and STL). His stuff as been the same as last year (205 k in 172 IP). I like him in this spot vs a bad offense.
