Boston is 59-29 overall and 31-17 on the road and Kansas City is 25-61 and 11-32 at home, which says it all about this matchup. What's more, the Red Sox have their ace on the mound in Chris Sale, who has a 2.41 ERA and .179 opponent batting average and has allowed a total of four runs his last five starts, including none his last two against the Mariners and Yankees. Sale faced the Royals once this year and gave up one earned run on five hits in seven innings. Jason Hammel should not even be in the major leagues as he owns a 2-10 record and 5.56 ERA and the Royals have lost his last five starts by a combined score of 32-9. Hammel has been knocked around for 15 runs (13 earned) on 19 hits his last 10 innings. Even with the inflated line, go with the Red Sox.
