The Boston Red Sox won their 40th game of the season on Monday, courtesy of a walk-off hit from Rafael Devers. They are one of six teams to reach this milestone this year, meaning that they are still one of the best squads in baseball at the moment.
For their next test, they’ll start an eight-game road trip by visiting a team many expected to be in the best-teams-in-baseball conversation when the season began, as they’ll face the Atlanta Braves in Atlanta at 7:20 p.m. EST on Tuesday night. However, Atlanta has had a middling season when looking at the standings and currently sits at 30-33, which is only good enough for third place in the congested National League East.
