The Red Sox boast a 51-42 record, while the Royals are hot on their heels with a 52-43 record. The duel at Fenway Park will feature Brayan Bello for the Red Sox and Brady Singer for the Royals. Boston’s offense has been strong so far, ranking 8th in the MLB in both team batting average and home runs and 6th in stolen bases. Rafael Devers has been a standout for the Red Sox over the last week, batting .348 with an impressive 1.158 OPS, hitting 3 home runs, and collecting 7 RBIs. On the mound, Brayan Bello, the No. 68 best starting pitcher according to Advanced-Stat Power Rankings, brings his right-handed batting skills to the table. With an implied 54% win probability, betting markets see the Red Sox with the edge. Kansas City’s offense has proven to be balanced, ranking 11th in team batting average and 7th in stolen bases. Bobby Witt Jr. has been on top form lately, batting .429 with a 1.149 OPS in his last five games and recording 2 home runs and 5 RBIs. Brady Singer, who ranks as the No. 83 best starting pitcher in the league, will look to cool down Boston’s bats. Although Kansas City’s moneyline of +110 implies a 46% win probability, they are quite capable of pulling out a win.

THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system, gives the Red Sox a slight edge with a 53% win probability and projects Boston to average 5.12 runs.
