Player Analysis

Charlie Blackmon has had a solid season, particularly in recent games, where he has maintained a batting average of .259 with 7 home runs and 35 RBIs. Over the last ten games, he has demonstrated his potential with a strong performance, hitting two home runs and five RBIs. Blackmon's ability to hit doubles and score runs makes him a valuable asset for the Rockies, especially given the Angels' pitching struggles this season. His familiarity with the Angels' pitching staff could bode well for his performance in this game.

Opposing Analysis

The Los Angeles Angels will be sending Davis Daniel to the mound, who has a 1-2 record with a 5.82 ERA. The Rockies have historically been able to capitalize on pitchers with high ERAs, and Daniel's lack of experience as a starter may add to the Rockies' chances of producing runs. Blackmon's role as a veteran hitter could be crucial in this matchup, as he often steps up against less experienced pitchers.
