Angels vs Rockies Prediction
I want nothing to do with the Rockies, especially with Freeland on the mound, as he’s been arguably the worst starter in baseball. Through 42.1 innings, Freeland has an 8.08 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. yuck. Soriano looks like an all-star, and it’s why the Angels are comfortable favorites. However, the Angels are still the Angels, a bad organization that I’m not thrilled to back, let alone lay these prices. We’re getting almost two times our money to fade the Angels. I’ll plug my nose and take a shot in the dark with the Rockies.
