How many games will the Colorado Rockies win in 2020?
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Thursday, July 2 at 7:20 a.m. ET.
The Rockies’ win total is set at 26.5. The Over is +100 and the Under is -120. Playing with roughly the same roster that lost 91 games a season ago with no major additions, if they fall out of contention, things could go south in a hurry. Lean towards the UNDER -120 for the Rockies.
Colorado Rockies’ World Series odds
The Rockies are one of the biggest long shots to win it all at +20000 … and they’re not worth backing here. AVOID. They will not win the World Series.
Colorado Rockies’ playoff odds
In addition to being a long shot to win a title, they have the second-longest odds to win the NL pennant at +10000 — only the Miami Marlins have longer odds at +25000. Colorado is +4000 to win the NL West, but that along with the NL championship bet are NOT WORTH MAKING. Especially since the Dodgers are all but guaranteed to win the division and are far more talented than Colorado. AVOID any futures bet on the Rockies.
