Rockies lefty Kyle Freeland posted a 12.46 ERA in May, and on Monday he faces an Angels lineup that's above average (.712 OPS) versus southpaws. Colorado has lost Freeland's last seven starts. Jose Soriano hasn't been nearly as dominant as he was in April, but he's miles better than Freeland. The Rockies have won two of their last 12 road games, and Colorado used six pitchers in Sunday's 19-6 home loss to the Giants.

Right around even money, I'm going to back Jose Soriano and the Angels to get a walkover win here tonight. Soriano pitching well is a major key, and his road stats look better but his home numbers are skewed by two rough starts. Kyle Freeland has allowed a home run every three innings to righties, with a .331 average, and he hasn't been better vs. lefties either (.333 avg). A righty heavy order is on tap and the Angles have some big bats that can do deep. Plus, they have seen Freeland a fair bit in their careers for an interleague matchup. The Rockies play in the best hitter's park in baseball yet had the 4th worst wRC+ in MLB during May vs right handers.

Caesar’s. Emmet Sheehan has remained under this outs line in 5/10 starts this season. However, he’s struggled on the road, where he’s pitched to a 6.52 ERA, staying under this outs line in 3/4 outings. He’ll face the Diamondbacks lineup that’s in the top ten of pitches per plate per plate appearance against right handed pitching. Arizona should also start five lefty hitters today, which is Sheehan’s worse split (.869 OPS allowed).
