Los Angeles Angels vs Colorado Rockies Odds: Rockies Gripping, Angel’s Looking to Take Advantage

The Angels Come in 21-8 in Their Last 29 Games Against the Rockies; 11-2 in Colorado

The Los Angeles Angels vs Colorado Rockies opening odds show the Angels as a -150 road favorite (Colorado +135). The total is 12 (-115 under). Patrick Sandoval (4-6, 4.08) is scheduled to get the ball for Los Angeles. He’ll be opposed by Kyle Freeland (4-8, 4.48).

The Angels are six games behind the Texas Rangers in the American League West after dropping a two-game set against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Colorado is already out of the postseason picture, making this a winnable series for Los Angeles.

For Angels, Ohtani, Time is Ticking

No one knows exactly what “in contention’ means for Shohei Ohtani when being asked about getting traded at the deadline (August 1st). That’s where he wants Los Angeles to be when deciding whether he’ll be sticking around the Magic Kingdom.

With that being said, the Angels must-win series like the one they’ll be involved with this weekend if they hope to give Ohtani the impression that they’re serious about a World Series title. Current MLB World Series odds show the Angels at +3000 and -200 to not make the postseason.

After two consecutive 2-0 shutouts against the Dodgers, the Angels have scored a grand total of one run in their last 22 innings. Sandoval shut out Kansas City for seven innings in his last start but still has given up 16 earned runs in his last 5 starts (4.50 era). We continue our Los Angeles Angels vs Colorado Rockies odds with a look at the Rocks.

Rockies Desperate to Break 8-Game Losing Streak

Every team goes into a new MLB season with high hopes. With this being baseball, only a few are realistic. The Colorado Rockies are one of those teams, despite a $180 million dollar payroll. We often talk about how baseball is a sport where you can buy your success, but Colorado, who has almost $90 million in payroll on the injured list is just a result of bad luck.

The Rockies have lost 8 straight games after the Cincinnati Reds completed a three-game sweep. The bigger pitcher is worse. Since May 29th, the Rockies are 5-18. Pitching has been horrible with a team ERA of 5.48 (29th) to go with just 17 quality starts (27th). The Rocks will try to stop the bleeding by sending Kyle Freeland to the bump. Freeland has a personal 4-game losing streak after allowing seven earned runs in 4.1 innings against the Atlanta Braves in his last start.

The Rockies are 0-2 against the American League behind the former Team USA pitcher, and 5-10 overall when Freeland starts. In support of Freeland, the Rockies have put up an average of 3.22 runs per game, with three runs or less in nine of his 15 total starts. When facing the Rockies vs Angels, their offensive performance will be crucial to secure a victory against their formidable opponents.

Even with the Angels struggling, it’s hard to put our money behind Freeland who has given up 86 hits in 80.1 innings pitched. We conclude our Los Angeles Angels vs Colorado Rockies odds preview with our official selection.

Bettors Pounce on Angels Early

We can’t argue with early betting action that has seen nothing but Angels’ money come in. When it’s all said and done, Los Angeles will likely be around -160 to -165 which will be powered by sharp bettors. The public might hold this number down because the Rockies are at home where they are somewhat respectable at 16-19 and Freeland is a name that most remember from the World Baseball Classic.

Plus, the Angels’ power outage hasn’t helped, even if it’s against the Dodgers. Los Angeles has still managed to produce a small 89-unit profit for bettors, while the Rockies are -866 units on the year. The Angels’ domination in Colorado (11-2) and overall (21-8) leads us to officially select Los Angels in game one (-150). That does it for our Los Angeles Angels vs Colorado Rockies odds preview, all the best with your wagers this weekend.

CURRENT ODDS: Angels -151/+139, Over/Under 11.5 -115/-105
