Boston Red Sox starter Brayan Bello has had his struggles since June. In five of his last seven starts he has given up four or more runs. Still, Bello ranks tenth in wins this season, including wins in three of his last four starts. He is also coming off an eleven strikeout performance. Take the Red Sox at home in the final game before All Star break over the Kansas City Royals.

Boston is 14-1 on Sundays, with 10 wins by 2 runs or more. They have won 5 straight Sunday games by multiple runs since suffering their only loss on a Sun. They are 9-3 in their last 12, with 8 wins of 2 runs or more in that stretch. Brayan Bello gives me concern but the Sox have been scoring a lot of runs for him and for all his faults are 10-6 when he starts. Brady Singer's ERA goes up a half run away from his big home park, his HR rate soars on the road. KC struggles on road and just 3-4 in Singer's last 7 starts, all losses by 3 runs or more. Royals have pen issues, and limited lineup.
