The Rockies come into this matchup with a record of 46 wins and 60 losses, while the Angels are struggling with a 38-69 record. Both teams have had their share of difficulties this season, but the Rockies have shown signs of competitiveness, particularly with recent performances that include a high-scoring game where they put up 20 runs against the Boston Red Sox. The Angels, on the other hand, have faced significant challenges, especially on the pitching side, where their team ERA stands at a league-worst 5.52. The starting pitchers for this game are Davis Daniel for the Rockies and Kyle Freeland for the Angels.
