The Red Sox need to be better against left-handed pitching

The Red Sox offense has been extremely frustrating this year, as we all know at this point. That’s not the same as saying they’ve been bad, of course, because by the numbers they haven’t been. They are fourth in baseball in terms of runs scored and eighth in the game by wRC+. It seems hard to complain about that, and yet when you watch the games it often seems hard not to complain about them. Granted, they have been better recently and they do have guys like Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers, among others, who are putting up All-Star-caliber seasons.
