The Baltimore Orioles still find themselves in the thick of the cluttered American League wild-card race despite their four-game losing streak. Baltimore looks to end the slide when it continues its 10-game road trip Monday with the first of three contests against the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Cleveland Indians look to continue the longest winning streak in baseball since 2002 when they go for No. 19 in a row against the visiting Detroit Tigers on Monday in the opener of their three-game series. Francisco Lindor remained hot with a double and a homer as the Indians topped Baltimore 3-2 on Sunday to move within two victories of equaling Oakland's 20-game run of 15 years ago and three away from matching the 1935 Chicago Cubs' major league-record 21-game streak.

The Tampa Bay Rays will have a hard time concentrating on baseball Monday, when they host the New York Yankees in the opener of a three-game series to be played at Citi Field - home of the New York Mets - due to Hurricane Irma’s arrival in Florida. The Rays ended a three-game slide with a 4-1 victory over Boston on Sunday as Irma was reaching shore on the Southwest Coast of Florida and barreling toward Tampa and St. Petersburg.

The Milwaukee Brewers have greatly improved their chances in the National League Central and will try to pick on one of the division's lesser teams when they begin a three-game series against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday. A three-game sweep over the Chicago Cubs in Wrigley Field - capped by Sunday's 3-1 win - pulled the Brewers within two games of the Cubs in the division race.

A pair of American League West teams vying to stay close in the wild-card race meet Monday in Texas, where the host Rangers begin a big four-game series against the Seattle Mariners. Texas enters 2 1/2 games behind Minnesota for the second wild card in the AL, while the Mariners are three back after both teams suffered losses Sunday.

The Kansas City Royals hope a visit from the worst team in the American League will help them close the gap in the wild-card race. The Royals are 2 1/2 games behind Minnesota for the second wild card as they begin a three-game home series against the last-place Chicago White Sox on Monday.

The Arizona Diamondbacks hope to all but wrap up the first wild card in the National League this week as they begin a four-game series against the visiting Colorado Rockies on Monday. Arizona salvaged the finale of its three-game set versus San Diego with a 3-2 triumph to maintain a five-game lead over Colorado, which occupies the second wild-card spot.

Two of the most frustrated teams in the majors meet Monday in the opener of a three-game series as the cellar-dwelling San Francisco Giants host the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have lost 10 straight contests and 15 of their last 16. The Dodgers still own the majors’ best record at 92-51 and hold a nine-game lead over Arizona in the National League West, but they're beginning a 10-game road trip with definite reasons for concern.
