The Dodgers are coming off a series win over the Pirates and looking to end the first half of the season on a positive note with a two game series with the Angels at Dodger Stadium. Julio Urias got his season on track on Thursday with 6 solid innings in a win and the Dodgers will be looking for the same from Tony Gonsolin (4-3 3.69 ERA) who has been a bit uneven in his last 5 starts.

The Angels counter with RHP Griffin Canning (6-3, 4.29 ERA).
