The Royals are coming into this game with a 52-44 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games as they are trying to catch the Twins in 2nd place of their division, only 2.5 games behind now. They are coming off of a 5-0 loss to the Red Sox, but they have won 4 of their last 5 games and their offense has been on fire in these. They have scored at least 6 runs in 4 of their last 5 games and will be hungry to bounce back after getting shut out in their last game. They are going up against a Red Sox team that is 52-42 this season and has also been playing well in recent games, but now they have 2 losses in their last 4 games as they have been alternating between wins and losses. Their pitching has been very inconsistent as they have shut out 2 opponents in their last 3 games, but they have also allowed 5 runs or more in 3 of their last 5 games as well. Brayan Bello is starting for the Red Sox in this game and he is 9-5 with a 5.40 ERA this season. He has not been pitching that well all season despite having 9 wins, and he has been allowing a lot of runs in his recent starts as well. He allowed 5 earned runs in his last start and has allowed 5 earned runs or more in 2 of his last 3 starts. He has also allowed at least 4 runs in 5 of his last 7 starts and has only had 1 start this season out of his 16 where he did not allow any runs at all. Brady Singer is starting for the Royals in this game and he is 5-5 with a 2.93 ERA this season. He has been very consistent in his starts all season, but recently he has been pitching very well as he has allowed 1 earned run or less in each of his last 4 starts. He has been doing that often and that is going to help his team win this game as they are not getting shut out again with Bello pitching. The Royals are going to win this game.
