Angels (25-7-1) @ Dodgers (15-19), 7:10pm
Both club's scheduled second starters are set to start tonight, the first game at Dodger Stadium since the Phillies captured the National League pennant last fall. Randy Wolf will start for the Dodgers, while Dustin Moseley toes the rubber for the Angels. MLB.com's Lyle Spencer tells us Moseley will be followed by Darren Oliver, Rich Thompson, and Jose Arredondo.
Some notes:
