Angels Snap Eight Game Skid
The Angels finally broke through Saturday night with a 3–0 shutout win, powered by Kyle Hendricks’ seven scoreless innings and a two-run homer from Jo Adell, his 37th of the season. Hendricks scattered five hits and struck out six, while the bullpen locked down the final six outs without allowing a baserunner. It was a much-needed win for a team that had been outscored 52–29 during its eight-game losing streak. With Taylor Ward extending his hitting streak to four games and Mike Trout drawing two walks, the Angels showed signs of offensive life despite their season-long struggles.
Sunday’s starter is expected to be José Suarez (5–9, 5.12 ERA), who’s been inconsistent but serviceable. Suarez has allowed 18 home runs in 121 innings and owns a WHIP of 1.47, but he’s been better on the road, posting a 4.38 ERA away from home. He’ll face a Rockies lineup that ranks near the bottom in most offensive categories, giving him a chance to build on Hendricks’ momentum. If Suarez can avoid early damage and keep the ball in the yard, the Angels’ bullpen—despite a 50.7% save conversion rate—has shown flashes of reliability in low-scoring games.

Offensively, the Angels remain boom-or-bust. They rank 25th in runs scored (651) but 4th in home runs (214), leaning heavily on Adell’s power and Ward’s clutch hitting. Their team batting average sits at .226, and they’ve struck out 1,540 times, the most in MLB. Still, they’ve hit the over in 83 of 154 games, and when the long ball shows up, they can flip a game quickly. With Adell heating up and Trout drawing walks, the Angels have enough firepower to back Suarez and close the series with a win.
Rockies Continue To Be Bad
The Rockies took Game 1 of the series with a 7–6 win, showing rare late-season resilience behind a three-run eighth and a clutch RBI from Hunter Goodman, who’s been one of the few bright spots in a tough year. But they couldn’t carry the momentum into Saturday, falling 3–0 as the offense managed just five hits and struck out nine times. Goodman extended his hitting streak to five games, and Mickey Moniak added a double, but the lineup was otherwise quiet. Colorado has now lost four of its last five, and while they’ve shown flashes, consistency remains elusive.
Sunday’s starter Kyle Freeland (2–13, 6.21 ERA) has struggled all season, especially at home, where his ERA balloons to 6.89. He’s allowed 23 home runs in 129 innings, and opponents are batting .298 against him—numbers that don’t bode well against an Angels team that ranks 4th in MLB in home runs (214). Freeland has failed to pitch past the fifth inning in four of his last five starts, and his command has been shaky, with a WHIP of 1.68 and a walk rate nearing 10%. If he can’t keep the ball down or get ahead in counts, the Angels’ power bats could break this one open early.
Offensively, Colorado has leaned on Goodman, Moniak, and Jordan Beck, but the production has been uneven. Goodman leads the team with 30 homers and 88 RBIs, while Moniak has chipped in with 24 homers and a .272 average. Still, the Rockies rank 29th in runs per game (3.75) and have hit the over in 68 of 156 games, often due to pitching collapses rather than offensive explosions. If Freeland falters and the bullpen gets stretched, Colorado will need timely hitting and clean defense to avoid dropping the series at home. Let me know when you’re ready for the pick or total lean.
Los Angeles Angels vs Colorado Rockies Pick
Angels vs Rockies Moneyline Pick
- LA Angels (4 Units)
The Angels are in a solid spot to close out the series with a win after Saturday’s 3–0 shutout, where Kyle Hendricks delivered seven scoreless innings and Jo Adell launched his 37th home run. That win snapped an eight-game skid and gave the team a much-needed confidence boost heading into Sunday. The Angels are favored at -112, and while they’ve only won 48.6% of games in that range this season, they’re facing a vulnerable Rockies squad that’s lost four of five and struggles to contain power bats at Coors Field. With Taylor Ward riding a four-game hitting streak and Mike Trout drawing walks consistently, the Angels have the offensive pieces to back up another strong outing.
Colorado counters with Kyle Freeland (2–13, 6.21 ERA), who’s been lit up at home all year—opponents are batting .298 against him, and he’s allowed 23 homers in 129 innings. The Angels rank 4th in MLB in home runs (214) and have hit the over in 83 of 154 games, often fueled by Adell’s power and Ward’s clutch hitting. Freeland has failed to reach the sixth inning in four of his last five starts, and if he falters early, the Rockies’ bullpen—converting just 60% of save chances—won’t offer much resistance. With momentum finally swinging their way and a favorable pitching matchup, the Angels are well-positioned to take the series and build on Saturday’s clean, efficient win.
Angels vs Rockies Over/Under Pick
- Over (5 Units)
This matchup has all the makings of a high-scoring affair, even without an official total posted. Kyle Freeland (6.89 ERA at home) has been consistently shelled at Coors Field, and the Angels—who rank 4th in MLB in home runs (214)—are built to punish mistakes. On the other side, José Suarez (5.12 ERA) hasn’t been much better, and Colorado’s lineup, led by Hunter Goodman and Mickey Moniak, has shown enough pop to contribute. With two volatile starters, thin bullpens, and power threats on both sides, this game could easily turn into a slugfest with crooked numbers in multiple innings.
