Kansas City at Boston

The Kansas City Royals have in the past been prone to bad starts, but finally have added some strength at the top of the rotaton, and are off to an 8-6 start on the season. They acquired Jamie Shields to bolster the rotation. He has made two great starts and has pitched to a 3.43 ERA to start the season. Clay Buchholz has certainly opened some eyes at 3-0 with an 0.41 ERA, but he has not pitched like this in his career, and the jury is still out, especially after pitching to a 4.56 ERA a year ago. Shields has the pedigree here, and the Royals have a great track record against pitchers with a WHIP of less than 1.15 where they are 10-3 in their last 13. The Red Sox have lost five straight Buchholz starts vs. a winning team. Play on Kansas City.
