Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Colorado Rockies enter Monday’s contest with a 22–38 overall record (5th in the National League West) and a 10–22 mark on the road. The Rockies offense has been competitive to this point in the season. Colorado has compiled 255 runs scored, 90 doubles (19th in MLB), a .230 team batting average and 71 home runs which ranks tenth in Major League Baseball.The Rockies arrive at tomorrow’s game in below average form.

In nine starts made this season, Freeland has compiled a 1–6 win‑loss record, an 8.08 ERA, a 1.75 WHIP and 39 strikeouts, while allowing 60 hits and 14 walks in 42.1 innings pitched.

Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Angels Prediction
In my view, this matchup favors the Los Angeles Angels. Why? Los Angeles starting pitcher Jose Soriano has amassed a 2.65 ERA (11th in MLB), a 1.15 WHIP and 78 strikeouts in twelve starts made this season. Conversely, Colorado hurler Kyle Freeland has been far more inconsistent, compiling a 1-6 record and an abysmal 8.08 ERA, which is concerning when facing a quality Angels lineup playing at home. With that said, Los Angeles is the side to be on in this one. I am backing the Los Angeles Angels on the moneyline in this game.Hans Geevers's Pick: Los Angeles Angels ML
