Royals 15-2 last 17? Time for a reset. Dobbins has been sharp: 2-0, 2.45 ERA in night starts, 2.38 GB/FB ratio keeps ball in park. Lorenzen leaking HRs – 6 in last 16.2 IP. Red Sox offense crushes righties: .250 AVG, 4.90 R/9, 1.0 HR/G. This matchup favors Boston across the board. Boston leads in OBP (.328 vs .303), BA (.252 vs .242), and R/9 (4.95 vs 3.65). Royals offense worse vs RHP (.243 AVG, 0.6 HR/G). Sox pen holds leads – 3.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP last 3. Dobbins limits damage, Sox grind out runs and punish mistakes. Lorenzen’s 5.06 ERA in day games suggests volatility. Red Sox have tools to snap the streak.
