An interleague matchup in Major League Baseball on Monday sees the NL West leading Los Angeles Dodgers taking on the AL West third-placed Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first of a three game series between these two ball clubs and is also the first time they have met since the 2019 season. The Dodgers are coming off an 8-4 loss to the Texas Rangers in the third and final game of their three game series on Sunday. The defeat snapped a two game winning streak for LA, although they’ve still been in an excellent run of form overall with seven wins from their last 10. The Dodgers will send out Michael Grove to the mound who is 2-2 on the season with an ERA of 6.40. The big righty is coming off a solid showing in his last start, going five innings and allowing only one earned run.

The Blue Jays enter this clash coming off a 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners, putting an end to a two game losing streak and finishing that series with a win. Toronto will now stay on the west coast as they make the trip south to Dodger Stadium where they’ll attempt to improve upon their .528 winning road percentage. Toronto are unfortunate to play in the league’s strongest division in the AL West, meaning their solid 55-45 record has them sitting in third-place. They trail the division-leading Orioles by 6.5 games and the second-place Rays by only two games. The Blue Jays will start this game with Jose Berrios who is boasting an 8-7 record with a 3.39 ERA. Berrios is having a solid season and put forward a good outing in his last start. He went six innings in his last start, giving up only two earned runs and striking out nine batters in a Blue Jays win.
