Ailish Forfar and Jesse Rubinoff kick things off with Dan Shulman (1:44) ahead of Max Scherzer and Clayton Kershaw’s heavyweight tilt. They discuss the matchup between the two future hall of fame pitchers and how each has looked so far this season, the Dodgers not looking like themselves recently, what to expect at Dodgers Stadium, and much more. Then, following Victoria Mboko’s historic win at the National Bank Open, Sportsnet’s Danielle Michaud (14:13) joins the show to discuss the scenes from Montreal, what she noticed from Mboko throughout the tournament, Osaka’s reaction during the finals, and much more. Then, former Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar (32:31) joins the show ahead of the Dodgers series. They discuss what it is like to face off at the plate against Clayton Kershaw and how he has reinvented himself in the later stages of his career, if Toronto will carry momentum from their record setting series against the Rockies into their series against L.A., and more. Then, they discuss his time with the Blue Jays and what it was like as the team began to find major success, the different roles on contending teams, and much more.
