Prediction

Expect a high-scoring game. Colorado native Kyle Freeland, the Rockies' starter, holds a 6.23 ERA — 9.96 on the road, 1.88 at Coors Field. Angels starter Davis Daniel has shown more promise, despite a similar ERA of 5.82. The Angels need to take advantage of Freeland's struggles away from home.

More

• Angels pitcher Ben Joyce has thrown 20 consecutive scoreless innings, and could be called upon in a save situation following the trades of veteran relievers Carlos Estévez and Luis Garcia.

• Rockies SS Ezequiel Tovar has a home run in each of the Rockies' last two games against the Angels.

• Luis Rengifo is one of four major leaguers with 20+ SB and a .300+ batting average this season, along with Bobby Witt Jr., Christian Yelich and Shohei Ohtani.
