Boston Red Sox<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
-110<\/span>O\/U: 9
(-120\/+100)<\/span>-110<\/span><\/div>\n

The Boston Red Sox are set to host the Kansas City Royals at Fenway Park on July 12, 2024, in what promises to be an intriguing matchup between two American League teams with above-average seasons. The Red Sox currently hold a 51-41 record, while the Royals are not far behind at 51-43.<\/p>\n

Starting for the Red Sox will be right-hander Cooper Criswell, who has had a bit of an up-and-down season. With a 4.15<\/a> ERA and a 3.61 xERA, Criswell has shown signs of being better than his surface stats indicate. However, he\u2019s projected to struggle in this outing, with forecasts suggesting he\u2019ll allow 2.8 earned runs and only strike out 3.5 batters over 5.0 innings. This might be problematic against a Royals offense that ranks as the 14th-best in MLB.<\/p>\n

On the opposite mound, Cole Ragans will start for the Royals. The left-hander has been excellent, boasting a 3.28<\/a> ERA and an even more impressive 2.75 FIP. Ragans is ranked as the 13th-best starting pitcher in MLB. He\u2019s projected to go 5.6 innings, allowing 2.5 earned runs and striking out 7.2 batters. This could pose a challenge for the Red Sox, who have the 3rd-highest strikeout rate in MLB.<\/p>\n

Offensively, the Red Sox are a strong unit, ranking 6th in overall power rankings, 8th in batting average and home runs, and 6th in stolen bases. Jarren Duran has been their standout hitter, with a .278<\/a> batting average and .812 OPS over 92 games. Rafael Devers has been hot recently, hitting .304 with three homers in the past week.<\/p>\n

The Royals, while not as potent, have a solid offensive squad. Bobby Witt Jr. leads the way with a .325<\/a> batting average and .931 OPS. He\u2019s also been on fire lately, hitting .429 over the last seven games.<\/p>\n

The betting markets project the game to be a close one, with both teams having an implied win probability of 50%. However, according to THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system, the Royals have a 56% win probability, suggesting potential value for bettors looking to back Kansas City. With both bullpens ranking in the bottom tier (the Red Sox at 24th and the Royals at 22nd), this game could come down to which starting pitcher can best establish dominance early on.<\/p>\n

      Explain:<\/strong> Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game’s runs.<\/em><\/small><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
