DANNY DUFFY

Any time Danny Duffy is slated to pitch in a series, he’s going to make this list. The Kansas City Royals invested a lot in Duffy this offseason and so far in two starts, he’s lived up to those standards.

Duffy currently posts a 2.08 ERA in his two starts and has a 1-0 record. He’s only given up three runs throughout his two appearances on the mound and has struck out 11 batters. We’ve definitely had the good Duffman so far and it’d be great if he could stick around, because man… This team really needs him.

Duffy is slated to throw for the Royals on Friday against J.C. Ramirez, who will be making his first Major League start. Duffy went seven innings against the Astros last weekend, so we’ve seen him go deep into games already this season.

Can Duffy contain the Angels hot hitting lineup and keep his boys in blue above water?
