The Boston Red Sox have a big series ahead of them.
Boston begins arguably its most important set in 2021 on Monday night when it takes on the American League East-leading Tampa Bay Rays.
The Red Sox sit eight games behind the Rays in the AL East standings and hold a 2 1/2 game lead over the Oakland Athletics for the final American League Wild Card spot.
