Los Angeles Angels vs Colorado Rockies 3/22/2023 Free Picks, Odds and Previews
The Los Angeles Angels are scheduled to take on the Colorado Rockies in an upcoming MLB game at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick Scottsdale, AZ, on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, at 4:10 PM ET. Despite his absence from the team due to his participation in the WBC, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Shohei Ohtani to the regular season. He has shown his strength as a batter, displaying an impressive swing that suggests he won’t be bothered by the pitch clock.
The Angels’ top-five rotation remains unchanged, and barring any injuries, it’s expected to remain that way for the foreseeable future. However, Griffin Canning is currently absent from the roster, and Tucker Davidson has been called up to replace him. While Canning is expected to pitch on Monday, there’s no guarantee he’ll be ready by then. In the meantime, it’s challenging to choose any other candidate over Davidson for the position, unless someone steps up and stands out specifically.
- The Over is 3-0-1 in the Angels’ last 4 interleague road games.
- The Over is 4-0-1 in the LA Angels’ last 5 games vs. a starter with a WHIP of less than 1.15.
- The Under is 4-0-1 in the Los Angeles Angels’ last 5 games with the total set at 11.0 or higher.

As Sunday afternoon progressed, the Rockies‘ roster took shape, revealing a new look for the team since the start of Spring Training. According to an MLB.com source, the switch-hitting Jurickson Profar, who had a successful 2022 season with the Padres, agreed to a one-year deal with Colorado as their leadoff hitter and left fielder. Additionally, seasoned corner infielder Mike Moustakas, a left-handed hitter, continued his impressive hitting streak against the Guardians after signing a Minor League contract two weeks ago.
Daz was performing well for the Rockies during spring training prior to the World Baseball Classic, recording a 2-for-8 with an RBI while playing for Colombia. Serven is the most experienced backup candidate. Although the Rockies anticipated Brendan Rodgers to improve his batting, he is out for the season due to a left shoulder injury. While McMahon is known for his solid defensive background at the position, he hopes to step up his offensive game. Tovar’s bat did not perform as well as it did in the spring, but he is still demonstrating leadership in all the minor plays required of a middle infielder. With Profar in the mix, the Rockies can move Bryant to the right, where Coors Field is less demanding.
- The Under is 4-0 in the Rockies’ last 4 games vs. a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15.
- The Under is 4-0 in the Colorado Rockies last 4 games with the total set at 7.0-8.5.
- The Rockies are 0-5 in their last 5 interleague home games vs. a left-handed starter.
