Total Base Race – Kansas City Royals/Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox get another plus matchup tonight, as they’ll face off against Jakob Junis. He enters this game with a 4.57 xFIP and a 4.60 SIERA. He has struggled more against left-handed batters, allowing them to hit for a .284 average with a .477 slugging percentage and a .348 wOBA.

Martinez is currently dealing with an injury, but he’s an elite option if he’s in the lineup. Over his last 10 games, he boasts a .343 average with a .743 slugging percentage and a 1.220 OPS. He also owns five extra-base hits (four home runs) in those games. Martinez has posted 57% hard hit and 42% fly ball rates with a 97 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days, as well. He has been better against left-handed pitching this season, but he should find plenty of success in this matchup.

He possesses 11 extra-base hits (4 home runs) over that span, as well. He also enters this game with 44% hard hit and 36% fly ball rates to go along with a 96 MPH exit velocity over the last 15 days. Benintendi brings a 0.02 ISO differential against right-handed pitching into this game. Andrew Cashner will be taking the mound for the Boston Red Sox. He has struggled in 2019 with a 4.98 xFIP and a 5.10 SIERA. He has also been a reverse splits pitcher, allowing a .282 average with a .496 slugging percentage and a .349 wOBA this season. Jorge Soler has been a reverse splits hitter, as he possesses 0.055 wOBA and 0.102 ISO differentials against right-handed pitching.
