Boston's offense is in a terrible slump this season. The Red Sox are averaging the second-fewest runs per game, have hit only 34 homers - the second-fewest in baseball - and are 28th in OPS. The pitching matchup is Ranger Suarez, 2-2, 2.44 ERA, against the Kansas City bullpen. Suarez has been in excellent form, but this pitching edge is negated by the Red Sox's lack of offense and the Royals' being much stronger offensively at home. Kansas City rates sixth in home scoring, averaging more than five runs per game when playing at Kauffman Stadium. Boston has not scored more than three runs during any of its last nine games. During this span, the Red Sox are averaging a puny 1.8 runs per game. Boston has a losing road record. Kansas City has a winning home mark. Take the Royals.
