Why Boston
- Boston’s bullpen ranks No. 1 in the league in ERA (3.12); Kansas City’s ranks 28th (4.97).
- Payton Tolle comes in with a better FIP than Noah Cameron, 3.10 to 3.61: he controls more of what depends on him.
- Both starters are lefties, and Boston hits lefties better: a .752 OPS to .699.
- Recent form agrees: Boston is 6-4 over its last 10 and Kansas City is 4-6.
