The Los Angeles Dodgers will enter Sunday’s series finale with the Toronto Blue Jays, raring to complete a three-game sweep against the AL East contender. Behind another terrific pitching performance from Tyler Glasnow, the Dodgers have tightened their hold on the top spot in the NL West standings with an 18-11 slate, 4.5 games ahead of the Padres and the Giants. The Jays, meanwhile, tasted their fifth straight loss, dropping them to fifth place in the AL East standings with a 13-15 slate. Dodgers' relief pitcher Michael Groove (6.00 ERA with 18 strikeouts) will make his first start of the season after coming off the bullpen in his nine mound appearances. He will be facing the Blue Jays, who just crossed the 100-run mark and have below-league-average batting numbers of.224,.310, and.357. Blue Jays’ right-handed pitcher Kevin Gausman (0-3, 5.57 ERA with 18 strikeouts) seeks his first win in his sixth try. The Dodgers present a big roadblock for Gausman to secure his first win, flaunting a dominant 277/.354/.444 batting line with 157 runs this season.
