Rockies vs Angels MLB Betting Preview
This is a nice spot for the Angels to get a win. These are two of the worst teams in the league, but the Angels get a big advantage here for two reasons.
The first reason is Jose Soriano being on the bump. And while his ace-like start to the season has been mostly forgotten already (5.34 ERA in May), he still should be considered a solid arm who is capable of dominating, especially against a Rockies team flying from Denver to LA to open up a road trip.
The Rockies are particularly bad in these first games out of Coors as they adjust to the altitude and deal with the possible jet lag (although this is a relatively short flight).
The other thing working in the Angels' favor is how many dingers Kyle Freeland gives up to right-handed hitters. Going back to last year, he has a 4.5% HR% allowed to righties. That's 31 homers allowed in the last two seasons to these hitters. Righties have a .419 xwOBA and a .642 SLG against the guy. He's cooked, boys.
The Angels don't have a lot going for them on the roster, but the one they're chock-full of is right-handed guys with power. Let's check on some of these Angels' barrel rates against lefties the last two seasons:
Neto 18%
Adell 17%
Trout 15%
Peraza 12%
Soler 11%
O'Hoppe 11%
They strike out plenty, and rarely pile up a bunch of hits to put crooked numbers on the board, but they can hit the homer. If you want to match this up with someone currently swinging the bat well, I'd offer you Jo Adell, who has looked a lot better lately with a 12.5% Brl% and a .317 xwOBA in his last 15 days.
He's homered three times in the last ten games. So he's getting some of that power he showed last year back in his game. And then there's the Mike Trout guy, who has a 21% Brl% on the year with a very nice 23% K%.
I'm all over the Angels in this one. Soriano gets the job done, and a couple of right-handed homers are all they need.
Pick: Angels -1.5 (-102)
