The Boston Red Sox started the season feeling pretty good about their pitching, but that hasn't been the case here to start the season. The Sox are just 12-17 to start the season and watched the pen implode again last night. Boston's 5.35 team ERA ranks only ahead of Minnesota through 29 games. Jon Lester has been part of the struggle with just one win and a 4.62 ERA. The Royals have struggled at home to a 3-13 mark, but until Boston came to town the first 14 of those were all against winning teams, as the schedule has been brutally difficult. Boston is now 7-24 vs. a team that scored five or more runs in their last game and 0-7 in that situation when Lester takes the ball. Chen is working magic as the Royals are 4-1 when he starts as a dog of +110 to +150. Take Kansas City on the runline.
