On the surface, it looks like the Angels-Rockies will combine for at least a dozen runs in a pitching matchup of lefties Patrick Sandoval against Kyle Freeland.

Dig deeper, though, and you find Under to be the right play.

Both teams were idle Thursday so the bullpens are rested. Then there's the weather. The forecast is for wind to be blowing in at 9-to-10 mph.

The Angels have a cluster injury problem in the infield. Out are Anthony Rendon, Gio Urshela and Zach Neto. That puts Luis Rengifo and Andrew Velazquez into the lineup. Rengifo is batting just .209. Velazquez has only 16 at bats this season. He batted .196 last season in 322 at bats.

The Angels enter this game having been shut out in their last two games.

Freeland knows how to pitch at Coors Field. He's fared much better there than on the road. Freeland had a 3.19 home ERA this year. He has a 2.25 ERA against the Angels in two previous starts. The Under is 12-2-2 during the last 16 interleague games the Angels have gone against a southpaw starter.

Sandoval is coming off seven shutout innings of the Royals last Friday. The Rockies have never faced him giving Sandoval the element of surprise.

Colorado is one of the weakest hitting teams against southpaws ranking 29th in OPS, 28th in slugging percentage and 26th in batting average.

The Under has cashed the past six times the Rockies have gone against a lefty starter.
