Kansas City at Boston

Kansas City is getting respect with this betting number because Seth Lugo is on the mound. However, he's a six-inning guy and the K.C. bullpen is 28th in ERA (4.30) and WHIP. The Royals have a losing road mark and play their seventh consecutive road contest. The offense is just 20th in on-base percentage. Boston's offense is 13th in runs scored, eighth in on-base percentage, and sixth in slugging, while the bullpen is 11th in ERA (3.69) and WHIP. Batters are hitting just .217 off starter Kutter Crawford (3.24 ERA) and the Red Sox are 6-0 versus a starter with a WHIP of less than 1.15. Play Boston.
