Total Base Race – Kansas City Royals/Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox get a plus matchup against Mike Montgomery in Boston tonight. Montgomery has struggled with a 4.78 xFIP and a 5.25 SIERA through 23 games (3 starts) this season. He has struggled more with left-handed batters in 2019, although those numbers are in limited innings. He is currently allowing right-handed batters to post a .275 average with a .486 slugging percentage and a .351 wOBA against him. He has also given up a .423/.845/.529 line on the road this season. Mookie Bettts continues to play at a high level, posting a .293 average with a .634 slugging percentage and a .960 OPS over his last 10 games. He owns six extra-base hits (four home runs) in those games, as well. He also boasts 36% hard hit and 42% fly ball rates to go along with a 94 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. As if that isn’t enough, Betts possesses a .309/.536/.943 line at home in 2019. He has been better against right-handed pitching, but he enters this game with tremendous numbers against lefties, as well. J.D. Martinez, on the other hand, has found more success against left-handed pitching, as he brings 0.166 wOBA and 0.268 ISO differentials against lefties into this game. He has also caught fire recently, recording a .343 average with a .743 slugging percentage and a 1.220 OPS over his last 10 games.

He has also allowed right-handed batters to hit for a .277 average with a .466 slugging percentage and a .327 wOBA in 2019.
