Joe Kelly comes off the disabled list to make his first appearance since April 19 and looked excellent in his rehab starts. Kelly made one start against Cleveland last year and allowed one run in six innings. He should get good run support as Boston leads the majors with an .837 OPS and .482 slugging percentage overall as well as a .306 batting average at home. Trevor Bauer lost his last start, 5-1 against Minnesota, when he allowed three runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings. Bauer pitched one inning in a relief role against the Indians on April 5 and gave up two runs and two hits. Red Sox hitters have a .429 batting average versus the right-hander in 14 at-bats. Boston is also 14-9 at home this season. Play the Red Sox.
