In their attempt to win their seventh in a row, the Los Angeles Angels will face one of the NL's top pitchers in tonight's opener of a three-game series with the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.

Despite injuries to sluggers Torii Hunter, Vladimir Guerrero, and Bobby Abreu, the Angels are a major league-best 8-1 in interleague play this season.

Hunter is expected to return to the lineup tonight, and Guerrero will likely start at designated hitter as the Angels look to win seven straight for the first time since 2008.

Now they will try to beat the Chad Billingsley for the second time this season.

Billingsley, attempting to become the NL's first 10-game winner, is also trying to win four straight starts for the second time this season.

The Dodgers, however, are 6-18 in Anaheim since 2001 and dropped two of three there last season.

Joe Saunders will start for the -115 favored Angels.
