Los Angeles at Los Angeles

Chad Billingsley has followed his rookie success into this season, and has established himself as a quality starter. The problem he faces, as do many of the Dodgers' pitchers, is the lack of run support. The Dodgers' offense has sputtered all season, and has already produced 24 games scoring one run or less! That means even a good pitcher like Billingsley has managed to lead the Dodgers to only a 6-9 mark in his 15 starts. The Angels have played well over the last month or so posting a 22-13 mark in their last 35 games. Jered Weaver pitched poorly to start the season as the Angels posted wins in just two of those eight starts. They have reversed that fortune as Weaver has been more like the pitcher that carries a 31-16 career mark into this game. The Angels have now posted wins in six of his last eight starts. The Angels are the better team, and the Dodgers can't be trusted offensively, so we back the Angels to even the series tonight.
