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.

BET OVER 9 (+100).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Angels picks and predictions

Prediction

Angels 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Angels (-135) should hand Colorado its 6th straight loss, but I prefer the plus odds on the run line since the Rockies have lost 4 of their last 5 games by 3 or more runs.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies just can’t seem to keep games close. They’re 53-55 as run-line underdogs on the season (3rd-worst record in MLB) and 24-31 on the road (2nd-worst).

Freeland hasn’t been much help on the road, either, as he’s allowed 4 or more ER in 4 of his 6 away starts. The Rockies are 2-4 in his road starts this season, losing by an average margin of 5.8 runs per game.

BET ANGELS -1.5 (+145).

Over/Under

The Over is 32-22-1 (59.3%) in Rockies away games this season, according to TeamRankings.com. Freeland has allowed an average of 5.2 runs per road start this season, while Daniel hasn’t been much better, giving up 5 or more runs in back-to-back outings.

BET OVER 8.5 (-110).

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (44-57) and Los Angeles Angels (50-50) play the finale of a three-game interleague set Wednesday at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 3-6 with a 6.06 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 5.3 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 over 90 2/3 innings across 15 starts and 4 relief appearances.

Gonzalez has posted a 1-1 record with a 6.86 ERA across four starts in July. That’s slightly better than his 0-2 mark with a 7.71 ERA in five outings in June.

LHP Andrew Heaney is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 6-7 with a 5.32 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 over 88 IP across 17 starts.

Heaney has picked up victories in two of his three outings in July. That includes last time out at the Minnesota Twins Thursday when he allowed just 2 runs on 4 hits and 2 walks with 7 strikeouts across 7 innings.

  • Money line: Rockies +180 (bet $100 to win $180) | Angels -225 (bet $225 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-105) | Angels -1.5 (-115)
  • Over/Under: 9.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Angels 8, Rockies 4

Money line (ML)

The Angels (-225) will cost you more than two times your potential return. That’s just not a good wagering strategy over the long haul.

AVOID and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

LOS ANGELES -1.5 (-115) is a much better value on the run line. Gonzalez has been very giving across the past two months, coughing up a ton of runs. Heaney has been a little more quality, and that’s the difference in this one. After getting demolished 12-3 Tuesday, L.A. will return the favor Wednesday.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 9.5 (-105) is the play in this interleague series finale. Colorado cashed the Over all on their own Tuesday, plating 12 runs in a rout. Los Angeles won’t quite pile up that kind of offense against Gonzalez, but L.A. will knock him around for a lot of offense early on.

This one will definitely have double-digit runs and is the strongest play on the board in this battle.

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Angels odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Angels odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (43-57) and Los Angeles Angels (50-49) play the second game of a three-game interleague set Tuesday at Angel Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:38 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Angels odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Austin Gomber is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 7-5 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 8.4 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 84 1/3 innings across 16 starts.

Gomber allowed 3 earned runs on 3 hits and a walk with 3 strikeouts across 6 innings in an interleague win against Seattle Wednesday.

The former FAU product has won all three of his interleague starts this season and has won four straight decisions over five starts dating back to May 29.

LHP Jose Suarez is the projected starting pitcher for the Angels. He is 4-3 with a 2.85 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 over 41 IP spanning three starts and nine relief appearances.

Suarez coughed up 4 runs, 3 hits and a walk with 4 strikeouts across 5 2/3 innings in a loss at Oakland last Tuesday. He is 1-2 with a 4.61 ERA across 13 2/3 innings in three July starts.

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 10:21 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Rockies +120 (bet $100 to win $120) | Angels -145 (bet $145 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +1.5 (-165) | Angels -1.5 (+135)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Angels 5, Rockies 2

Money line (ML)

The ANGELS (-145) are a good play behind Suarez in this middle contest of a three-game interleague set. The Rockies have been getting great pitching from Gomber lately but Colorado’s offense has had a power outage with just 4 total runs across the past three games – all losses.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

ANGELS -1.5 (+135) is worth a small-unit play. L.A. has won three in a row, outscoring the opposition by a 14-5 margin, including wins of 4 or more runs in each of its last two.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 9 (-115) has been bet down from even money but still provides good value. Gomber has been keeping the damage to a minimum lately, and Suarez should be able to keep the Colorado bats quiet too.

The Under is 6-1 in the last seven for the Halos and 6-2 across the last eight for the Rox.
