In three games this season, Duffy owns a 2-0 record with a 1.80 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. He held the Angels to just one run on three hits while walking two and striking out six in his last start. He’s now notched a quality start in all three of his outings thus far.
Cashner allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits while walking three across 5 1/3 innings of work as he took the loss Saturday against the Mariners. He struck out only two batters in that outing and now owns a 1.50 WHIP to go along with a 5.06 ERA. That said, it’s only one start for the veteran right-hander.
Bet Tonight’s Royals vs. Rangers Game
OUR PICK: The Royals are 7-1 in Duffy’s last eight starts against American League West teams and are 12-3 in his last 15 outings when he’s coming off a Quality Start in his last appearance. On the other side, the Rangers are just 2-8 in their last 10 home games, are 1-5 in their last six games overall, and are 0-5 in their last five games when their opponent scores two runs or less in its previous contest.
