#909/910 OVER 8.5 Colorado Rockies (Feltner) at Los Angeles Angels (Fulmer) 8:38 PM CT

There were scoring opportunities in last night’s 2-1 win for the Rockies, with 14 combined hits but the teams combining to 1-10 with runners in scoring position. Kyle Freeland had one of his best starts of the season while Davis Daniel was able to navigate out of traffic to keep the Angels in the game. Colorado has been a boom-or-bust lineup, even in road games, scoring six or more runs five times in the past 14 road games. The Angels have scored at least five runs five times in the past 10 games and both teams have season over/under records that lean to the ‘over’. While Ryan Feltner may not deserve his brutal 1-10 record, his ERA is 4.99, and he has greatly struggled with baserunners on, not just this season but throughout his career, stranding only 63 percent of baserunners. Carson Fulmer had a 4.51 FIP next to his 3.77 ERA, mostly pitching out of the bullpen this season before taking three July turns in the rotation. He is yet to produce a quality start and benefited from facing Oakland in two of three starting efforts. Both teams have struggled in the bullpen this season with a 5.59 relief ERA for the Rockies and a 4.34 ERA for the Angels, even with an improved stretch of pitching since the All-Star break. In the past 10 games the Rockies have averaged 8.4 hits per game and 5.1 runs per nine, while the Angels have had 8.1 hits and 4.9 runs per nine. After 17 runs on Tuesday and just three last night, the first game of this series looks more like what should be the norm for these pitching staffs with both relief units overworked in the early part of the week.
