Red Sox vs. Braves Lineup: The post-deadline edition

A busy deadline day for the Red Sox will conclude with a game against the NL East division leading Atlanta Braves, who took it easy this weekend. While the Sox said good-bye to Mitch Moreland, Kevin Pillar, and Josh Osich, the Braves sole deadline move was to add stereotypically crafty lefty Tommy Milone to bolster a rotation led by tonight’s starter, Max Fried. Fried has carried the Braves’ injury battered rotation on his back, leading baseball in ERA and ERA+. His success has been mostly driven by his ability to keep the ball in the yard, as he has not allowed a big fly in 40 innings of work.
