Lefty Mike Montgomery makes his fourth 2019 start tonight. Montgomery (1-4, 6.34 ERA) has dropped his last four decisions. Further, the 29-year-old’s three appearances as a Royal have become rocky affairs -Montgomery’s allowed ten runs and eighteen hits in his last eleven innings pitched.
All total, in 2019 Montgomery’s teams -Cubs and Royals- are 5-18 when he appears.
Boston Red Sox
As bad as Kansas City’s been recently, the Red Sox have fared arguably worse. Stuck in a seven-game winless drought, playoff hopes are fading quick for the defending World Series champs.
After being swept by Tampa Bay, Boston dropped an 8-6 Saturday meeting against AL East rival New York, losing their fourth straight to the Bronx Bombers in the process.
Whether through bad pitching, bad hitting, or both, the Red Sox have fallen hard with 3/4’s of the regular season gone. Boston is now 5.5 games back of the AL’s final wild card spot.

Overall, Boston is 13-9 this year when Porcello takes the mound.

Free Kansas City Royals vs. Boston Red Sox MLB Prediction:
As stated above, Boston and Kansas City are each trending downward. However, two factors play in the Red Sox’ favor today: talent and home-field advantage. Without question, at 17-37 away from Kauffman Stadium, KC is among MLB’s least effective road units.
Further, motivated by their diassappearing postseason hopes, Boston will flex its offensive muscle today.
