L.A. Dodgers (66-58) at San Diego (62-62)

The red-hot Dodgers head to San Diego for a three-game set against the Padres, with rookie Chad Billingsley (4-3, 3.16) battling former Dodger Chan Ho Park (7-7, 4.68).

Los Angeles took two of three in San Francisco over the weekend to improve to 19-3 in its last 22 games. Grady Little’s team leads the Padres and Diamondbacks by four games in the N.L. West.

San Diego is just 2-5 on its current homestand and just 30-36 at Petco Park this season.

The Padres have owned the Dodgers this year, winning eight of 11 clashes. Also, the road team is 8-3.

Park is 1-3 with a 6.18 ERA in his last five outings, allowing exactly three earned runs in each of his last three contests. The veteran righthander is 2-4 with a 4.17 ERA in 10 home starts.

Park is 2-1 with a 4.74 ERA in five career starts against Los Angeles. Three of those occurred this year, with Park going 2-0 despite a 4.76 ERA (nine earned runs in 17 innings).

Billingsley has been outstanding of late, going 3-0 with a 1.13 ERA in his last four starts, allowing a total of three runs and 13 hits over 24 innings. Toss out an ugly game against the Cardinals (five earned runs in five innings), and the rookie is 4-0 with a 0.75 ERA in six starts since mid-July.

The righthander is 2-2 with a 2.83 ERA on the road. He made his major-league debut at Petco Park back on June 15 and yielded two runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings, but he failed to earn a decision in the Dodgers’ 7-3 win.

The over is 8-2 in Park’s last 10 outings and 3-0 in his three starts against the Dodgers in 2006. Meanwhile, Billingsley’s lone start against San Diego soared over the posted price, but the under is 5-2 in his last seven appearances overall.

The over is 7-1-1 in the last nine Dodgers-Padres battles. However, the under is currently on runs of 6-3-1 for San Diego and 8-3 for L.A.
