River City Sharps
The Red Sox got a come from behind win in the first game of this series and will try for two in a row tonight when they face off with Danny Duffy (5-9, 2.76) and the Kansas City Royals. The Red Sox will counter with Rubby De La Rosa (2-2, 2.89), who has been pretty effective for the Red Sox since entering the rotation from the bullpen. Duffy has been a real victim of lack of run support and has actually given up three or fewer runs in seven of his last eight outings. There are several things pushing us towards the road team here tonight. For starters, the Red Sox have really struggled recently vs. left-handed pitching and Duffy is a guy that when he is on, is pretty tough to hit. Boston is 3-10 in their last 13 games vs. a left-handed starter and 2-9 in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning record. Conversely, the Royals are 10-2 in Duffy's last 12 road starts vs. a team with a losing record and 6-0 in Duffy's last six starts when he gets over five days of rest. The Royals have proven to be a resilient and a really tough out on the road, so we're going to back them and Duffy here tonight. The Sharps say...
