I know everyone is still super excited about the Mike Trout contract extension but it’s time to come back to reality a bit. While other teams have Cy Young candidates as their opening day pitcher, this news just broke:
Trevor Cahill will start Opening Day. Then Matt Harvey, Felix Peña, Tyler Skaggs and Jaime Barria.

Yep, it’s just a little come back down to earth moment for everyone. The Angels rotation? Still shaky. A few months ago we didn’t even have Cahill and Harvey and now they will be the first two starters of the season.
Here is some recent history on opening day starters:
Jeff Fletcher also reported that Matt Harvey will be on the bump for the Home Opener.
In other news, Trevor Cahill is the #Angels opening day starter. He’s been the healthiest all spring. Followed by Harvey, Peña, Skaggs, Barría. Harvey starts home opener.
