Colorado at Los Angeles

The LA Angels were expected to be a strong contender in the AL this season, but injuries to key players, and their rotation has left this team on the outside looking in at four games under .500 for the season. The Angels appear to have thrown in the towel as they enter this contest reeling, at 2-8 over their last 10. It took 10+ runs to win the two games that they managed to put in the win column, as they have allowed 6.2 runs a contest over the 10 game skid. Colorado has a chance to make the playoffs on back-to-back seasons for the first time in franchise history, and are just one game back in the NL West standings. Colorado should be motivated off a rough loss last night. Play on Colorado.
