Randy’s Pick

Not a great pitching matchup, especially in Coors, but backing the Rockies these days just isn’t in the cards for me. The Colorado Rockies find ways to lose more often than not, and they lose even when the offense produces. The Los Angeles Angels need to take advantage of games like this if they’re going to chip away in the standings. Give me the Angels and the RL for max betting value.
