Both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays are coming off opposite sides of sweeps heading into this series opener Friday night.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been a good road team this year and the club is hoping that bodes well when they start this series against the Toronto Blue Jays Friday night. LA is coming off a three-game sweep against the Washington Nationals on the road and they have a 7-3 record away from Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers are going for their fifth win in a row after losing three straight. After dominating the first two games against the Nationals, LA’s finale on Thursday was a nail-biter ending in a 2-1 win to complete the sweep. Yoshinobu Yamamoto had a great game going six shutout innings while only giving up four hits and striking out seven. The biggest highlight though might have been Yamamoto making a remarkable reflexive catch on a line right back to the pitcher’s mound. Teoscar Hernandez hit a solo shot in the first and the Nationals didn’t score until the ninth inning. LA is the -125 favorite on the road tonight and will be starting righty Gavin Stone (1-1, 6.00 ERA) in the opener.

The Blue Jays meanwhile are coming off the wrong end of a sweep losing three in a row to the Kansas City Royals. Toronto lost in the finale 2-1 to drop the team back down to .500. Salvador Perez hit a two-run homer for KC in the first inning that the Blue Jays didn’t have much of a chance to come back from since the game was called in the fifth inning because of a 3.5-hour rain delay. Toronto will try to bounce back by getting home and starting Chris Bassitt who is 2-3 with a 3.90 ERA to start the season.
