Right, Colorado are in a bit of mess here, with some unfortunate travelling just after a crazy game yesterday. Last night, the Rockies played a wild one vs. the Boston Red Sox, in a game which saw 14 pitchers being used, with the game being completed after almost 5 hours. The game was physically draining for both sides, but with both sides switching leads several times, it must have been emotional draining too.
The Rockies tied the game in the bottom of the 9th, thanks to Papplebon for the second consecutive day. They very nearly won it in that inning too, but ultimately ended up losing it in the 10th. All that work and it didn't pay off. That type of loss is awful, and can wreck havoc with a sportsmans concentration levels. Perfect for a letdown, especially when the team then have to travel for an away game the very next night.
Jered Weaver is the man who will pitch for the Angels, and he'll be looking to capitalise on a Colorado team that is there for the taking. Weaver is 7-3 with a 3.04ERA and 1.109 WHIP through his 15 starts this season. That includes an outstanding 1.85ERA (1.077 WHIP) in his 6 home starts. He has also recorded a very impressive 107 strikes with just 23 walks.
BETTING VERDICT
LA will be in vulture mode tonight. I think it will take the Rockies at least one day to bounce back from last night, so I'm taking the Angels in a game where I'm also betting against the Rockies.
The Pick :
LA Angels to win
