LA Angels vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Angels here. I don’t love this matchup, but the reality is that Feltner’s been more of a liability than an asset this season and isn’t someone I’m going out of my way to put my hard-earned money on. The Rockies also aren’t a team I look to back on the road, as this team just struggles year after year away from Coors Field. The Angels aren’t much better, but I don’t mind what I’ve seen from Carson Fulmer and I think he helps the Angels salvage something in the series finale. Give me the Angels.
