Betting Analyst
Kikuchi has had a long leash of late, throwing an average of 98 pitches over his last five games. He should be given that kind of opportunity again in this one, as the Angels need him to preserve the bullpen. The matchup is fairly strong as well. The Red Sox have hit grounders at an above-average rate, struck out at an above-average rate, and made contact at a below-average rate against left-handed pitchers this season. They are not a team that should slug Kikuchi out of this game before he at least flirts with six innings.
