The Los Angeles Dodgers kick off their 2018 season at home on Thursday against the hated San Francisco Giants, with first pitch set for 4:10pm.
AM 570 LA Sports is bring you unparalleled Dodgers access all season long, starting with four hours of Opening Day pregame coverage live from Dodger Stadium.
Our Dodgers Opening Day broadcast will get underway at noon with Fred Roggin, Rodney Peete, Petros Papadakis and Matt "Money" Smith broadcasting from the field for three hours. Tim Cates will host Dodgers on Deck from the left field pavilion, starting at 3pm and leading up to first pitch.
Left-handed ace Clayton Kershaw will take the mound for the Dodgers, while left-hander Ty Blach will get the start for the Giants. Four-time All-Star Madison Bumgarner was originally set to face the Dodgers on Opening Day, but a broken left hand now has the hard-throwing lefty sidelined for at least a couple months.
The Dodgers and Giants ended 2017 on complete opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of success. The Dodgers enjoyed their winningest regular season since moving to Los Angeles, finishing the year with a 104-58 record, running away with the NL West title on the way to the team's first National League Pennant since 1988. The Giants, meanwhile, finished 40 games back of the Dodgers at 64-98.
