Red Sox batters continue to struggle vs left hand pitching on the road

The Boston Red Sox are an offensive juggernaut. They lead the league in multiple offensive statistics and at times are unstoppable. Except the Sox have their kryptonite, left hand pitching on the road.

Why? That's debatable.

Boston's ranks vs the American League. 14th in doubles (?), last in triples, last in HR, 13th in RBI, last in batting average, last in slugging and last in OPS.

Now you see what I'm talking about.

Here are the AL team numbers sorted by OPS.
