Colorado Rockies
The Rockies have struggled offensively this season, ranking near the bottom in multiple categories. With a batting average of .234 and only 426 runs scored, they find themselves in a tough spot. Key players like Logan O'Hoppe and Taylor Ward have shown flashes of brilliance, but inconsistency has plagued the lineup. Their pitching staff holds an ERA of 4.60, and the team has a record of 46-60. Griffin Canning's performance will be crucial in this matchup, especially as he attempts to turn around his disappointing season.
Los Angeles Angels

Their offensive output has been marginally better than the Rockies, with a team batting average of .244 and 454 runs scored.
