Here are the pitching match ups, game times, and broadcast networks for the games.<\/p>\n<p>Monday: 4:05 PM, FanDuel Sports Network West, Angels.TV<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6p\">Yusei Kikuchi vs. Will Warren<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6s\">Kikuchi entered camp as the leader of the Angels rotation but has been shaky so far in 2026. Currently sporting a 6.75 ERA, the Japanese southpaw has only lasted 14.2 innings in his 3 starts. He will need to perform better than he has to date if the Angels are going to stand a chance to win.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6v\">Will Warren, however, has been really solid for the Yankees. He&#8217;s also only gone 14.2 innings in his 3 starts, but has posted a 3.07 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/angels\/onsi\/the-key-reason-for-the-angels-2-0-start-to-2026-01kmscp9aawa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Angels are doing a good job of knocking <\/a>starters out early this year and that will be their best bet to get a win with Warren starting.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday: 4:05 PM, FanDuel Sports Network West, Angels.TV<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"71\">Reid Detmers vs. Ryan Weathers<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kp1s83n7pmmm47r87v.jpg\" alt=\"Reid Detmer\" title=\"Reid Detmer\" width=\"7281\" height=\"4095\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7b\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Apr 3, 2026; Anaheim, California, USA; Los Angeles Angels pitcher Reid Detmers (48) delivers during the first inning against the Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium.

In Weathers 3 starts he&#8217;s thrown 16 innings with a 2.81 ERA. <\/p>\n<p>Wednesday: 4:05 PM, FanDuel Sports Network West, Angels.TV<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7o\">TBD vs. Luis Gil<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7r\">The Angels pitching depth is already being tested. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/angels\/onsi\/how-can-the-angels-replace-george-klassen-01knzd2kxr4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">George Klassen was sent to AAA <\/a>and will need to be replaced in the rotation. Ryan Johnson can not be activated from the IL for at least another 3 days after this game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7u\">Luis Gil has only thrown 4 innings this season, striking out 2 and giving up 3 earned runs. <\/p>\n<p>Thursday: 10:35 AM, FanDuel Sports Network West, Angels.TV<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"80\">TBD vs. Max Fried<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-16\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"83\">TBD is getting the second consecutive start here. Hopefully he&#8217;s rested from Wednesday night. The foolishness of counting on Grayson Rodriguez and Alek Manoah is already starting to show itself. And if the Angels bullpen soaks up a ton of innings in these two games it will be drained for a home stand against the Padres and Blue Jays.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-17\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"86\">Max Fried is making his Yankees debut here. The lefty has battled injuries in recent years but has been highly effective when healthy. <\/p>\n<p>Prediction:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-19\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8c\">The first two games are really competitive. The Angels offense can make up for the sligh difference in starting pitching. However, the last two games are not looking good; especially that last one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-20\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8f\">Assuming the Fried start as an automatic win the Angels are hoping for a split here. That is the best case scenario and it could happen. Or the team loses the series 1-3 after splitting the first two games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Trout and the Angels visit the home of Aaron Judge this week for a four game set.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674922,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2390],"tags":[291,5,1165,446,3223,774,56,3224,3222,4],"class_list":{"0":"post-674921","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles-angels","8":"tag-angels","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-la-angels","12":"tag-laangels","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-los-angeles-angels","15":"tag-losangeles","16":"tag-losangelesangels","17":"tag-mlb"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116398979205310874","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
