More MLB picks: Los Angeles Angels · Colorado Rockies
The Rockies’ 42-112 record spotlights their collapse, while the Angels enter this interleague matchup analysis having scored just 3.0 runs per game across their last five. Despite that slump, Los Angeles holds the sharper edge against a Colorado side that continues to hemorrhage runs and confidence. With both teams combining for only 7.6 runs recently, this MLB prediction leans strongly toward the Angels controlling the game pace while keeping the total under the lofty number.

Team Analysis
Los Angeles Angels
The Angels’ 1-4 mark over their last five games and 2-8 stretch across the last ten spotlights an offense that has struggled to sustain rallies. Road form remains a concern at 33-47, but their ability to generate power swings from Jo Adell provides a path to capitalize against Colorado Rockies’ soft pitching. When Taylor Ward contributes timely run production, Los Angeles stabilizes its scoring even during broader slumps.
While consistency has been elusive, Zach Neto’s presence adds balance to the lineup and prevents opposing arms from exploiting weak spots. Despite averaging just 3.0 runs recently, the Angels’ lineup is still more reliable than Colorado Rockies’, particularly on the road where they’ve shown flashes of resilience. This game sets up for Los Angeles to lean on its power bats and exploit the Rockies’ inflated ERA.

Colorado Rockies
Colorado Rockies’ 1-4 record in their last five and just two wins over their last ten highlights a team in freefall. Even with Hunter Goodman producing reliable power, the Rockies’ inability to string together consistent offense keeps them capped at 4.6 runs per game recently. Their 24-56 home record further reduces confidence in their ability to defend Coors Field despite the offensive environment.
Mickey Moniak and Jordan Beck have provided scattered production, but both lack the consistent impact to offset the team’s defensive and pitching deficiencies. With a 6.04 ERA and constant bullpen issues, Colorado remains vulnerable to even modest offensive surges. This poor form and lack of home-field advantage make the Rockies a liability in this matchup.

- Total Runs Scored: 581

Over/Under Trends
Los Angeles Angels’ last 10 games have averaged 8.9 total runs, with 3 games that would have cleared today’s total of 11.5.
Colorado Rockies’ last 10 games have averaged 10.1 combined runs, with 5 games clearing the same number of 11.5.
Moneyline Betting Prediction
The Angels’ superior power core led by Adell, Ward, and Neto aligns perfectly against a Rockies staff that has surrendered runs at one of the league’s worst clips. With Colorado failing to protect home field and carrying a 6.04 ERA, the Angels’ lineup has the clear advantage in this interleague setting. This sets up cleanly for the Los Angeles Angels to finish on top.
Over/Under Prediction
Recent five-game scoring: the Colorado Rockies are at 4.6 RPG and the Los Angeles Angels at 3.0 — a useful baseline against the total.
These teams are combining for 7.6 runs per game recently — below the posted total of 11.5. That points toward the Under 11.5.
