The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to sweep the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon, both for the series and the season.

The Dodgers are currently 5-0 against the Angels this year, and are looking to return the favor after the Halos went 6-0 against the Dodgers last year.

The Dodgers beat the Angels in a 1-0 pitchers' duel in Friday's series opener. Then, they dominated the Angels, 9-2, on Saturday night, plating nine runs in the first inning.

On Sunday the Dodgers go for the season sweep and will look to get 20 games above .500.

Dodgers vs Angels Pitching Matchup on Sunday

Right-handed pitcher Emmet Sheehan is taking the mound for the Dodgers against right-hander José Soriano of the Angels.

He's allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of his last five starts, and will look to continue that trend on Sunday.
