The Kansas City Royals put their six-game win streak on the line on Friday when they host the Boston Red Sox at Kaufmann Stadium.
The Royals keep on rolling as they completed a four-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox with an impeccable 10-0 win in Thursday’s series finale. Kansas City displayed terrific pitching while unleashing a steadily improving offense that has produced 10-plus-run game in their last five games. Batting .245 in the season, the Royals have batted .301 with 5.0 runs per game over their last 10 matches.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox have scored back-to-back wins over the Texas Rangers to win that series. Boston owns a top-10 caliber batting split of .254/.329/.480 with 191 totals runs, which falls inside the top-5. However, the Red Sox banked on solid pitching from starter Bryan Bello and their bullpen to score their first shutout win since edging Tampa Bay 1-0 on April 15.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Apart from their 6-game winning streak, Kansas City has only lost once in their last 11 home games. And although Boston is 4-1 in their last 5 meeting vs. Kansas City, they are a sub-500 team on the road at 9-10. Away from Fenway Park, Boston averages 4.4 runs per game and is pitching a 4.20 ERA. Kansas City, meanwhile, is torching opposing batters at Kauffman Stadium with an outstanding 2.51 ERA. The Royals might be just scoring 3.3 runs per game at home, but I really think their elite defense would get the job done in Game 1. Starter Michael Lorenzen allowed 4 runs in his last start, but I expect him to bounce back with a marvelous game vs. the Red Sox. Boston Red Sox vs. Kansas City Royals: Kansas City will win.
