Wed Mar 26 01:40:00 UTC 2025: **Dodgers and Angels to Clash in Freeway Series Opener**
LOS ANGELES (NBC4) – The Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels will renew their rivalry in the Freeway Series, starting this Sunday at Dodger Stadium. This marks the first time the two teams will play each other in Southern California during the 2025 spring training season. Left-hander Jackson Ferris will take the mound for the Dodgers, facing off against Angels right-hander José Soriano.
Ferris, a non-roster invitee to spring training, had a 5-7 record and 3.20 ERA in 2024, while Soriano posted a 6-7 record and 3.42 ERA in 22 appearances for the Angels. Both pitchers have struggled slightly in spring training thus far.
The game will air on SportsNet LA (Dodgers) and FanDuel Sports Network SoCal (Angels), with the first pitch scheduled for 5:10 p.m. The series continues with two more games at Angel Stadium on Monday and Tuesday.
The Angels currently lead the all-time Freeway Series record 77-57, with five ties. The Dodgers, reigning World Series champions, open their regular season at home on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. The Angels, aiming to rebound from a dismal 2024 season (63-99), begin their regular season in Chicago against the White Sox on Thursday, with newly acquired Yusei Kikuchi slated to start.
