Kansas City Royals Fantasy Spin

Bubba Starling hit a three-run homer Monday in a losing cause against the Red Sox. It's still awfully unlikely that Starling becomes a quality regular, but he now has two more major league home runs than seemed at all probably a couple of years ago. He's hitting .250 with a 23/3 K/BB ratio through 76 plate appearances.

Boston Red Sox Fantasy Spin

Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 and hit his 23rd homer Monday in the Red Sox's 7-5 win over the Royals. The 23 homers have come in 80 games, as Devers went his first 32 games this year without ever leaving the yard. Devers currently leads the AL with 146 hits, 37 doubles and 258 total bases.

The Red Sox snapped an eight-game losing streak last night but are still just 1-4 in their last five home games.

Prediction:

The over continues to be highly profitable when these two teams clash. The over is 21-7-3 in the last 31 meetings and is 8-3-2 in the last 13 meetings at Fenway Park. The over is also 25-9 in the Red Sox’ last 34 games overall and is 46-22-2 in their last 70 home contests. On the other side, the over is 8-2 in the Royals’ last 10 games and is 6-1 in their last seven outings against American League East opponents.
