(MLB) LA Angels vs. Colorado,
Money Line: 123.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: 123.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
The Colorado Rockies lost the series opener to the Angels last night, but they had won four of five at home prior to that. I like Colorado to get back on track at Coors Field tonight, facing a struggling Angels pitcher.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - Matt Shoemaker will be on the mound for the visitors, and he's struggled this season. Shoemaker (4-7, 4.91 ERA) gave up a pair of runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings in a home loss to the Yankees in his last outing. He's been better in the afternoon, posting a record of 4-5 with a 5.05 ERA in 13 starts under the lights. The Rockies counter with Chris Rusin, who is 2-0 with a 3.46 ERA in two starts at home.
2. Troy Tulowitzki - The Rockies slugger is riding a career high 19 game hitting streak, and he's batting .365 in those games.
3. X-Factor - The Rockies are 4-1 in their last 5 home games vs. a right-handed starter.
Selection: This is a play on the Colorado Rockies (10*)
