The Boston Red Sox will try to start a new winning streak and inch closer to clinching the American League East when they visit the Baltimore Orioles on Monday for the opener of a three-game series. The Red Sox had won three in a row before dropping a 3-2 decision at Tampa Bay on Sunday while managing just three hits.

The Milwaukee Brewers have played some of their best baseball of late without making up much ground in the playoff race, so they need to continue their hot streak when they begin a three-game road series against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. The only thing the Pirates have to play for is staying out of the cellar in the National League Central - they’re only two games ahead of last-place Cincinnati after Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Reds.

The Minnesota Twins created a little momentum as they embark on a season-defining, 11-game road trip that starts Monday with the first of three contests against the New York Yankees in what could be a preview of the American League wild-card matchup. Minnesota collected 16 hits, including a grand slam by Joe Mauer, en route to a 13-7 victory over Toronto on Sunday to salvage a split of the four-game series.

The major league-best Los Angeles Dodgers were unable to complete a weekend sweep but look to get back to their winning ways when they begin a four-game series Monday against the last-place Philadelphia Phillies. Los Angeles had won four straight following an 11-game losing streak before falling 7-1 in Washington on Sunday.

The Miami Marlins return home for the first time since Hurricane Irma to open a three-game series against the New York Mets on Monday. Miami followed a seven-game road trip by playing a three-game “home” series at Milwaukee following the storm.

A pair of teams that have been looking toward next year for several weeks meet Monday in Detroit, where the Tigers host the Oakland Athletics in the first of three games. The Tigers have been seeking positive signs for their future as they play out the string and they received several Sunday in a 12-0 win over the Chicago White Sox.

One day after having their four-game winning streak halted, the Arizona Diamondbacks attempt to further solidify their hold on the top wild-card spot in the National League when they visit the San Diego Padres on Monday for the opener of their three-game series. Arizona, which owns a five-game lead over Colorado, managed only six hits in Sunday's 7-2 loss at San Francisco.
