The Colorado Rockies were one of the National League’s worst teams in 2022, finishing with only 68 wins and in last place in the NL West. They continue a slow rebuild after an offseason of low-key moves. Even their owner is hoping for maybe a .500 season.
Let’s analyze the Colorado Rockies’ World Series odds, along with their projected win total, playoff, division and NL odds as we make our expert MLB picks and predictions.
Via trade, they acquired 3B/OF Nolan Jones, RP Dylan Spain, P Connor Seabold and RP Nick Mears. In those trades, they lost OF Sam Hilliard and OF/1B Connor Joe.
They added OF Jurickson Profar, RP Pierce Johnson and RP Brad Hand in free agency. This is a team that, at best, can beat expectations and find themselves in the Wild-Card race.

Colorado Rockies win total
Over/Under: 65.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)
FanGraphs projects 66 wins for the Rockies in 2023. They won 68 games last season and barely had 3B Kris Bryant in the lineup. They have made improvements on offense and on their staff. and ownership believes they could make it to 81 wins. That might be a little lofty, but even staying the same beats this year’s win projection.
BET OVER 65.5 (-115).
