The Dodgers are set to host the White Sox and Astros this week, marking their second week this season solely facing American League opponents. They struggled previously, going 2-4 against the A's and Angels. The White Sox arrive off a series win against the Giants, but are hindered by injuries, including Luis Robert Jr. Meanwhile, the Astros, currently leading the league, have been dominant with 14 wins in their last 18 games. Clayton Kershaw is poised to reach a milestone with 3,000 career strikeouts during this series.
Chicago comes to town for a series beginning Tuesday night, coming off a series win at home over the Giants.
Perennial trade rumor maven Luis Robert Jr., having his worst season, was placed on the injured list on Sunday with a hamstring strain.
The first-place Astros haven't lost a series since May 19-21, and they open this week with 14 wins in their last 18 games.
The Dodgers do have one more AL-only week this season, and it comes later in July.
