The Los Angeles Angels visit Coors Field on Friday night to take on the struggling Colorado Rockies in what appears to be a mismatch between two disappointing seasons.
With the Angels sitting at 69-83 and heavily favored at -275, they face a Rockies squad that has managed just 41 wins through 152 games and ranks dead last in multiple pitching categories.
While Colorado's offensive struggles and dreadful 6.03 team ERA make Los Angeles the clear favorite, the thin air at Coors Field could provide an equalizer in this late-season clash between clubs playing out the string.

Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Angels preview
The Angels head to the thin air of Coors Field carrying a forgettable 69-83 record, but they're still heavily favored at -275 against a Rockies team that's endured one of the worst seasons in franchise history at 41-111.
Los Angeles has managed just 4.2 runs per game this season despite playing in some hitter-friendly parks, while Colorado's pitching staff has been historically bad with a 6.03 team ERA that ranks dead last in baseball.
The starting pitching matchup features two struggling arms in Mitch Farris for the Angels and Bradley Blalock for Colorado, with Blalock posting a brutal 7.86 ERA over 80 career innings pitched.
Neither bullpen inspires confidence as both teams sit near the bottom in save percentage, though the Angels' relievers have been slightly more reliable than Colorado's disaster of a relief corps.
With the Rockies striking out more than any team except one this season and the Angels' offense sputtering to 24th in runs scored, this could be a surprisingly low-scoring affair despite the altitude advantage.
The 8.5 total seems reasonable given both teams' offensive struggles, though Coors Field's reputation for inflating numbers always makes the over tempting for bettors willing to gamble on a slugfest.
