Well, it’s the quiet before the storm, as the Braves are currently on an off-day before they get set to head into the snake pit that is Dodger Stadium for a three-game series that’ll certainly have plenty of eyes on it while it’s happening.

Still, we’re just over 24 hours from that game getting underway so there’s still some time to chat about whatever before we get into tomorrow’s action. What I’m watching tonight ESPN has a double dip that doesn’t seem all that bad — and it’ll also give us folks on the East Coast a chance to gear up for another late night. Tampa Bay vs.

Boston is interesting enough because of the divisional rivalry but the 10:10 p. m. ET game following that one will be the start of another NL showdown out West.

The Cardinals have gotten off to a really strong start and the Padres have been keeping stride with the Dodgers so far. The matchup itself is intriguing but apparently we’re all on Home Run Watch for Fernando Tatis Jr. — being that he still hasn’t hit any dingers yet .
