Our Boston Red Sox vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Boston is the significant favorite in this game; however, Kansas City looks to be the best betting option. There is no question that the Red Sox are the better team, but the pitching matchup looks to be in the Royals’ favor.
Dobnak has made five away appearances (four starts) this season, in which he has allowed just three earned runs over 29.1 innings. Suarez, on the other hand, has made 11 home starts, having allowed 26 runs (25 earned) over 54.1 innings.
Given Dobnak’s success this season, especially on the road, paired with Suarez’s struggles at home, our Boston Red Sox vs. Kansas City Royals prediction is: Kansas City Royals +1.5.
