After a day off, the Red Sox will continue their road trip with a two-game series at Atlanta. The Braves return home after a six-game road trip that ended with them getting swept by the Dodgers. They had been tied for first place in the NL East with the Phillies before dropping three straight. The series marks the return of Vaughn Grissom to Truist Park.

The series, set in New Orleans, features Emmy-nominated Giancarlo Esposito (”Breaking Bad,” “The Mandalorian”) as Gray, a broken and broke driver with a criminal past who reluctantly returns to his shadowy ways to pay the bills and eventually avenge the death of his teenage son.

They did an offseason study on which physical traits were most effective for NFL defenders. The attribute that kept popping up?
