Rockies vs. Angels Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Angels here. I don’t like either one of these teams if we’re being honest, but the Rockies have been borderline unbackable on the road and while Quantrill’s one of their better pitching options, he could have a great start and we’d still have to rely on this Rockies’ bullpen, which is something I’m not ready to do. I think the Angels have a chance to build some confidence in this series so give me the Halos.
