The Royals return home after another disastrous road trip that saw them win only one game and there to greet them are the world champions, the Boston Red Sox. The Royals can relate a bit to a tough go after a championship, but Boston seems to at least be vaguely climbing out of their early malaise. They started 6-13, but are 24-16 since (a 97-win pace) and seem to be getting straightened out for the most part. Their offense hasn’t gotten otherworldly seasons from Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez so far, but they’re very balanced and can hit, for the most part, up and down the lineup like usual.
