- Starting Pitchers: Mitch Farris (LAA) vs Bradley Blalock (COL)
- Stadium: Coors Field, Denver, CO
- Broadcast: MLB.tv
Key Storylines
- The Angels have lost 7 straight games and need a bounce-back.
- The Rockies own the worst record in MLB and have dropped 22 of their last 26 games.
- Coors Field has consistently yielded high run totals and we could see that again given the pitching matchup for this contest.
- Both starting pitchers have ERAs over 4.50 and Colorado’s bullpen ranks worst in the league.
Pitching Matchup
Mitch Farris (Angels): Farris enters this start at 1–1 with a 4.80 ERA. The rookie has shown flashes but has also struggled with command at times. Coors Field might be his toughest test yet.
Bradley Blalock (Rockies): Blalock enters this start at 1–5 with a 9.00 ERA. He has 14 home runs allowed in just 50 innings. His inability to keep the ball in the park makes him especially vulnerable against power hitters at this venue.
Recent Team Streaks
- The Angels have lost seven games in a row and were just swept by the Milwaukee Brewers.
- The Rockies have dropped five consecutive games heading into this contest.

Final Thoughts
The Angels enter this game as road favorites for good reason. Mitch Farris provides at least a league-average arm, while Bradley Blalock’s struggles at Coors Field are well-documented. With Taylor Ward and Jo Adell both capable of leaving the yard, Los Angeles should put up runs early and often. The Rockies can contribute offensively at home, but their pitching depth is too thin to hold up. I expect a high-scoring contest, with the Angels pulling away late. The best bet for me in this game is for the game to go over 11.5 runs in a contest where both pitching staffs should struggle.
