Boston owns an AL-best 75-48 record heading into this one, while Kansas City sits at 51-74 on the year. The Royals have dropped nine of their last 11 overall.

Boston is a perfect 6-0 in Miller’s six starts as a favorite this year. The Royals are 2-8 in Francis’ last 10 starts as an underdog. Kansas City is 26-57 in their last 83 games as an underdog.
