Paxton has cooled a bit on the K-front, under this line in 5/L7. Royals a sneaky tough matchup right now - only 4 guys in the lineup with above average K% vs lefties (but one is Salvy and I actually like this matchup for him). And since July 1, as a team, the Royals are at a 19.1% K% vs lefties (third best). Going to be rainy, which could go either way in terms of an advantage, but for an oft injured pitcher, the Sox likely exercise caution with him.
