Cubs @ Angels: Arrieta vs Richards (Game 1, Season Opener)
It's 2,020 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses...
CHC: RHP Jake Arrieta
LAA: RHP Garrett Richards
First pitch: 9:05pmCT
Jake gets the first start, after his Cy Young-winning season. It’s just a bit weird starting in the wrong league and on the other coast, but it’s Opening Day, so all is right with the world.
The Angels have had a bit of success against Arrieta (14-47, .298), especially Escobar, who is 7-19 with a HR. The Cubs are 11-26 (.423) against Richards, who found his mean and went 15-12 with a 3.65 for the Angels last year. New-Cub Zobrist is 6-11 with a HR against him.
Lester vs. Heaney tomorrow.
Go, Cubs!
