Happy Monday.
The Olympics are done.
The Houston Astros are gone.
The Red Sox sit at 61-55, 7.5 games back in the AL East, 3.0 games back in the Wild Card, 31.6% chance to make the playoffs per FanGraphs.
They have 10 more games before their next off day and James Paxton, well, down.

The brutal stretch of games against the Dodgers, Rockies, (eh) Yankees, Royals, Astros, Mariners, Rangers, and Orioles so far has Boston at 8-13.
