Prop Bets: Los Angeles Angels VS Colorado Rockies 2025-09-19
Title: "Angels vs. Rockies: A Tale of Two Teams (and a Lot of Runs)"
The Setup:
The Los Angeles Angels (-136) roll into Colorado to face the Rockies (+115) in a mismatch that’s as clear as a 11.5-run over/under line. The Rockies, who’ve lost more games than a toddler loses temper tantrums (41-112), are hosting, but their 6.04 ERA might as well be a neon sign reading “Free Homerun Zone.” The Angels, led by Mitch Farris (4.80 ERA, but hey, it’s not like he’s Clayton Kershaw), are the favorites, and honestly? They should be.
Why the Angels Win:
- Mitch Farris isn’t Cy Young material, but the Rockies’ lineup is so anemic, even a 4.80 ERA feels like a shut-in.
- The Angels hit 4.2 runs per game—not elite, but enough to outpace Colorado’s 3.8-run average.
- The Rockies’ pitching staff? A collective “I give up.” Their 10.4 strikeouts per game? That’s more than their starters’ stamina.
Why the Rockies Might Shock Us:
They’ve pulled off 26.8% of underdog wins this season. That’s roughly the same chance you have of finding a parking spot in a sold-out stadium. Still, Hunter Goodman (30 HRs, 87 RBI) could single-handedly keep Colorado’s hopes alive.
The Over/Under:
Take the Over 11.5 runs (-110 to -115). With Farris and the Rockies’ bullpen, this game could resemble a batting practice session.
Player Props to Bet:
- Mike Trout: Over 2.5 total bases (+160). The Angels’ slugger will either hit a moonshot or trip over his own cleats.
- Christian Moore, Rockies: Over 1.5 HRs (+250). He’s got 30 HRs on the season—though half of them might’ve been in spring training.
- Hunter Goodman: Over 1.5 RBIs (+150). Let’s hope he doesn’t need a mulligan.
Final Verdict:
The Angels win 5-3 in a game that’s less exciting than a tax audit. The Rockies will thank you for the points, but the over will cash like a lottery ticket. And if Trout goes 5-for-5 with a triple? Well, that’s why they pay the odds.
Play it safe, or play it funny. Either way, the Rockies are toast. 🍞🔥
