The Boston Red Sox are coming off a rare series loss to a team with a losing record and are hoping that doesn't become a trend as they prepare for a 10-game road trip. The Red Sox will begin on Monday at the Baltimore Orioles, who are losers of four straight and own the worst record in baseball.

The Miami Marlins are sitting in the National League East basement and narrowly avoided being no-hit while dropping the rubber match of a three-game series at home against the San Diego Padres over the weekend. The Marlins will try to pick it up when they host the surging San Francisco Giants in the opener of a four-game series on Monday.

The Toronto Blue Jays will carry their blistering-hot bats into the Sunshine State on Monday when they open a three-game series against the reeling Tampa Bay Rays (29-35), who have dropped nine of their last 10. The Blue Jays (30-35) amassed 27 runs and 56 hits en route to a four-game sweep of Baltimore, highlighted by a 13-3 shellacking on Sunday.

The Chicago White Sox just finished off a series win against one powerhouse opponent and will try to make it two in a row when they host the Cleveland Indians in the opener of a four-game series on Monday. The White Sox took two of three from the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park over the weekend and are winners of six of their last 10 games.

Milwaukee hasn’t hosted postseason baseball since 2011, but the atmosphere will be about as close as can be expected in June when the Brewers host the Chicago Cubs for a three-game National League Central showdown starting Monday. The first-place Brewers lead the Cubs by a half-game despite dropping seven of eight against Chicago this season. 

The San Diego Padres have won four straight series and nine of 12 games overall to remain in the mix within the forgiving National League West. The Padres (31-36) aim to continue their strong surge on Monday when they begin the second leg of their 10-game road trip with the first of three contests against the St. Louis Cardinals (35-28).

The Arizona Diamondbacks caught fire just in time to recover from a rough three-week stretch and reclaim their place atop the National League West in large part because Paul Goldschmidt is locked into one of the best grooves of his career at the plate. The Diamondbacks seek a 10th victory in their last 13 contests Monday when they host the opener of a three-game set with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The red-hot Seattle Mariners begin a trying 13-game stretch against some of the best teams in the American League when they host the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night for the first of three contests. The first-place Mariners, who also play Boston and the New York Yankees over the next two weeks, have won 17 of their last 22 contests to lead Houston by percentage points in the AL West after edging Tampa Bay 5-4 on Sunday.
