So let’s get this straight... What we have here is an meaningful interleague game, between two sub-.500 teams, in September? As if 2020 couldn’t get any weirder — but bring it on!
After trading last-at-bat blows over the past two nights, the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Angels square off this afternoon in the rubber game of a three-game series at Coors Field — a series that has become surprisingly important for both clubs, thanks to the expanded MLB playoffs. If the season were to end today, the Rockies (21-24) and Angels (19-28) would both find themselves on the outside looking in of the 16-team playoff field.
