Dodgers on Deck: Saturday, May 16 at Angels

The Dodgers and Angels are set to continue their weekend series at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, and Saturday's matchup promises to be a pitcher's duel between two arms who have been nothing short of dominant this season.

Taking the mound for the Dodgers is Justin Wrobleski, who has been a revelation since stepping into the rotation. After making just one bulk relief appearance, the left-hander won his first five starts while surrendering a mere two runs total. Even after a rough outing last Sunday—where he still managed to record 26 outs despite allowing seven runs—Wrobleski's ERA sits at an impressive 2.42 across 44 2/3 innings. It's the kind of gritty performance that reminds fans why every pitch counts in baseball.

Opposing him will be Angels right-hander José Soriano, who has been equally electric. Soriano allowed just one earned run over his first six starts, with only a brief hiccup against the Chicago White Sox on May 4, when he gave up five runs. Entering Saturday, his ERA is a sparkling 1.66 through nine starts and 54 1/3 innings. For a team looking to build momentum, Soriano's consistency has been a bright spot.

Whether you're tuning in for the pitching showcase or the cross-town rivalry, this game has all the makings of a classic. Catch the action on SportsNet LA or KCOP channel 13 for the Angels broadcast.
