Rockies at Angels picks and predictions
Prediction
Angels 7, Rockies 3
Moneyline
The Rockies are 15-41 on the road. Only the Chicago White Sox have a worse road record in the majors at 10-44. The Rockies are 4-15 in their last 19 road games and have not won consecutive road games in a series since sweeping San Diego in 3 games May 13-15.
The -120 odds are actually not bad for a moneyline bet on the Angels in the finale. But you can’t ignore the plus odds on the run line. You could ladder your bets, but if you’re sticking to one, go with the run line.
PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
In the Angels’ last 6 wins, 5 have been by 2 or more runs. They are 31-26 ATS at home, while the Rockies are 25-31 ATS on the road.
In the Rockies’ last 14 losses, 11 have been by multiple runs.
BET ANGELS -1.5 (+155).
Over/Under
Three of the Rockies’ 6 games on their road trip have had at least 9 total runs.
Four of the Angels’ last 6 games have had 9 or more total runs.
