Prediction and Conclusion

Both teams are in the middle of the standings in their respective divisions and are only a couple of wins away from getting into a situation that may lead them to the postseason. The Red Sox will start the series with veteran James Paxton on the mound, who is 8-3 for the season with a 4.52 ERA, 69 K, 93.2 IP, and 1.46 WHIP. The Royals will go with Brady Singer, who is 8-6 for the season with a 2.88 ERA, 115 K, 125 IP, and 1.16 WHIP.
