There\u2019s a pair of ghastly statistics relevant to the Red Sox offense and this matchup that are so absurd, they almost sound fake.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
    \n

    Tonight\u2019s starter, Ranger Suarez, has allowed ZERO Earned Runs in five of his last six outings, and the Red Sox are just 3-3 in those games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

    The Red Sox have scored three runs or fewer in eight consecutive games overall (and only one of those was a Suarez start).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ahead of this evening\u2019s middle game in Kansas City<\/a>, the baseball gods are trying to do everything in their power to give poor Ranger some runs. Specifically, they sent Kris Bubic<\/a>, the original Royals starter to the IL, and replaced him with Bailey Falter<\/a>, who has a 10.13 ERA. Falter\u2019s appeared in only three major league games this season, all out of the bullpen, and (as you can see from his ERA) all have not gone well.<\/p>\n

    But this is the Red Sox offense, and since Falter throws left handed, the starting lineup won\u2019t include either Masataka Yoshida<\/a> or Marcelo Mayer<\/a>. Instead, we\u2019re getting an infield that includes Caleb Durbin<\/a> at third, Nick Sogard<\/a> at second (which I actually like), and Isiah Kiner-Falefa at short. (Andruw Monasterio<\/a> is the DH.)<\/p>\n

    Jarren Duran<\/a> and his .181 batting average still gets to bat left-handed from the lead off spot though.<\/p>\n
