Dodgers look to continue domination of Marlins

Jul 6, 2007 - 3:41 PM Florida (40-46) at La Dodgers (48-38) 10:40 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- Chad Billingsley and the Los Angeles Dodgers look to stop a two-game losing streak against a team they love seeing at Dodgers Stadium.

Billingsley makes his third start of the season as the Dodgers open a three-game series with the Florida Marlins on Friday.

After falling 8-6 to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, the Dodgers look to rebound against the Marlins, who they have owned of late. Los Angeles has won seven of the last 10 meetings dating to last season, and 19 of 23 at home.

A converted reliever, Billingsley (5-0, 3.44 ERA) is coming off his finest outing of the season in which he allowed just three hits and posted a career-high nine strikeouts in seven innings against the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

As for the Marlins, their hopes of winning in Los Angeles rest on the shoulders of Dontrelle Willis (7-7, 4.65). Willis has lost four straight decisions, and like the rest of his teammates, has struggled against the Dodgers.

The lefthander is 1-5 with a 7.11 ERA in seven career starts against Los Angeles - the worst record and ERA for any team he has faced more than once.

Florida beat San Diego, 3-2, on Thursday as Byung-Hyun Kim outdueled Jake Peavy and Jeremy Hermida homered.
