Yeah, the royals were gross yesterday, but still going to rely on them today. Blanco is under in 8/L12, and on a shorter leash than he was to start the season - he’s only reached 90 pitches once in his L4 starts, as he’s already 20+ IP over his career high. Royals at a 19.9% K% vs righties in away games over the L30 days.
