You made it. Opening Day is finally here, as the Angels open up the season against the Oakland Athletics. Garrett Richards toes the rubber, hoping to send the Halos to the perfect beginning to a highly hyped season.

With today being Opening Day, we begin the show with a series preview for the 4-game set in Oakland, breaking down the key matchups, probable pitchers, and who could surprise and make the difference in each ballgame. Plus, our predictions on who wins each game.

A shortened Thursday Gear Grinder then makes way for a closing fit for Opening Day, a day unlike any other. Opening Day brings out youthful joy in all of us. The promise of spring before the harsh realities of the dog days of summer. The childhood exuberance that made us all fall in love with the game. Opening Day is everything to us, and it is finally here!
