2020-09-12 20:10:00 EDT
The Los Angeles Angels and Colorado Rockies meet Saturday in MLB action at Coors Field.
The Los Angeles Angels look for a win after splitting their last six games. The Angels have scored 13 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in six of their last eight games. The Angels have won five of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Mike Trout leads the Angels with 47 hits and 39 RBI while David Fletcher and Anthony Rendon have combined for 87 hits and 38 RBI. Jaime Barria gets the ball, and he is 0-0 with a 3.38 ERA and 17 strikeouts this season. This will be Barria’s second career game against the Rockies.
The Colorado Rockies look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Rockies have scored 16 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in seven of their last nine games. The Rockies have won seven of their last 11 games when scoring four or more runs. Charlie Blackmon leads the Rockies with 55 hits and 35 RBI while Trevor Story and Nolan Arenado have combined for 94 hits and 49 RBI. Kyle Freeland gets the ball, and he is 2-1 with a 3.60 ERA and 34 strikeouts this season. This will be Freeland’s second career game against the Angels.
The Angels are 4-0 in their last 4 Saturday games, 4-1 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series and 6-2 in their last 8 overall. The Rockies are 8-2 in their last 10 Saturday games, 4-1 in their last 5 during game 2 of a series and 3-7 in their last 10 overall. The over is 6-1-1 in Angels last 8 road games. The over is 7-2 in Rockies last 9 home games. The Angels are 9-1 in the last 10 meetings in Colorado and 13-3 in the last 16 meetings.
Jaime Barria has allowed seven runs and 13 hits in 18.2 innings this season while Kyle Freeland has allowed four runs and 11 hits in his last eight innings. Freeland is the more trustworthy pitcher in this spot due to his impressive numbers in Coors, and I have more faith in the Rockies at home than I do the Angels overall. I’ll take the Rockies and the reasonable price.
