The Los Angeles Angels will begin their quest to defend their AL West crown this afternoon when they take on Felix Hernandez and the Seattle Mariners.

King Felix is no stranger to Opening Day starts as he has been the starter for the last seven opening days for Seattle. In his eight career opening day starts only two of them have been in the comfy confines of Safeco Field. He’s usually pretty good on Opening as he has never loss.

There are some high expectations for the Mariners after they added a power bat to their lineup. The addition of Nelson Cruz to go along with Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager pose a scary threat to most opposing teams. Many experts believe that the Mariners will be the team to beat in the AL this season.

The Angels will look to remind the people who the reigning AL West champs are. They come into this season with a lot of familiar faces from a year ago. Jered Weaver will take the mound for the Halos. He posted a 18-9 record with a 3.59 ERA and will look to build on that strong year.

He comes into today’s game with his 7th opening day start of his career, which is his sixth in a row. He has struggled against the Mariners since 2012 losing 6 of his last 8 decisions.

There is plenty of drama surrounding the Halos. Mike Trout will look to build off his spectacular MVP season while fellow outfielder Josh Hamilton is dealing with his share of off the field issues. After a MLB decision showed that Hamilton would not be suspended the Angels have to chosen to hold him out indefinitely.

Today’s game is a battle between two teams that look to contend for the AL West Crown. Ladies and gentlemen it’s Opening Day!

Play Ball!
