Colorado Rockies vs LA Angels Prediction
Nobody should be thrilled to back the LA Angels in the favorite role, but you have no choice. The Colorado Rockies remain one of the worst teams in baseball, and they’re one of the worst teams to back for MLB bettors. The Angels are also a win away from becoming profitable, as crazy as that may sound. Also, Carson Fulmer has been fantastic at home this season through 31.1 innings, allowing a .130 batting average. The price is reasonable. Give me the Angels for a game 3 win over the Rockies.
