Boston Red Sox vs Kansas City Royals Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Bill Christy | in MLB Picks
The Kansas City Roayls (63-51) look to take game two and win the series as they defeated the Boston Red Sox (60-51) yesterday in game one. Boston put up 9 runs and used a great 4-5 day from Masataka Yoshida where he doubled twice and scored twice. James Paxton went a solid 6 innings and held the Royals to just 2 runs on 5 hits. Reliever, Angel Zerpa, was rocked for 4 runs on 5 huts and was only able to retire 1 batter. Kansas City has won 3 of 5 to start August while the Red Sox have taken 3 out of 4. Tonight, Seth Lugo (13-5, 2.57) will be on the hill for the Royals. He pitched a great 8 innings in his last start. The outing against the Tigers saw Lugo allow just 1 run on 4 hits. This was a start after he was knocked around by the Cubs and allowed 6 runs in 6.1 innings. For the Red Sox, they will have Brayan Bello (10-9, 5.13) go for them. He was decent in his last start which was 6.1 innings of work and allowed just 2 runs while striking out 7. The matchup will be interesting as both teams rank inside the top 10 in batting average and total runs scored.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
While Lugo has a strong ERA, Bello certainly does not but his offense has enough firepower to back him and make up for any of his mistakes. Lugo’s last start against these Red Sox, back on July 13th, he allowed 5 runs on 10 hits over just 5 innings. We like him to struggle once again and for the Royals to get to Bello in the early innings as well. This one should go over prior to the 8th.
Our prediction for Kansas City Royals vs Boston Red Sox: OVER 8.5, -110 at Draftkings.
