I''m not sure how Homer Bailey manages to stay in the big leagues. He must have gay nude photos of the commissioner or something. Bailey has thrown two no-hitters. The other 99 percent of his starts have been terrible.
His record since 2015 is 9-28 and he is 1-20 his last 21 starts.
Kansas City also has one of the weakest relief corps in baseball. The Royals have been outscored by 21 runs during the final four innings this season.


The Indians are going with righthander Jefry Rodriguez, who made eight starts as a rookie with the Nationals going 2-2 with a 6.75 ERA.

Rodriguez will be called up to make a spot start in place of the injured Mike Clevinger. In one start with Triple-A Columbus this season, Rodriguez earned the win with three runs allowed in 5 2/3 innings.

I'll still gladly take Rodriguez and a superior Indians bullpen at this short price. Kansas City is 1-7 the past eight times facing a righy starter.
