The Colorado Rockies have nowhere to look but up in 2024 following the worst season in franchise history, going 59-103 in a year when they hoped to improve on their 68-win 2022 season.
Colorado appears committed to building its success behind a youth movement. It did add RHP Cal Quantrill via trade and signed RHP Dakota Hudson, adding talent to the rotation. After that, it will rely on the players already in the organization and then hope that 3B Kris Bryant can be available. He has played in only 122 games in 2 seasons in Colorado. 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.
Colorado Rockies World Series odds
Provided by FanDuel Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Monday, March 25 at 9:40 a.m. ET.
Odds: +50000 (bet $100 to win $50,000)
The Rockies are tied with the Oakland Athletics with the longest odds in baseball to win the World Series, with only 0.2% implied odds or 500/1 fractional odds of them winning a championship.
They have not had a winning record in the last 5 seasons. Going from losing over 100 games to a title is not in the cards with this team.
The favorites are the Los Angeles Dodgers (+320), Atlanta Braves (+450) and Houston Astros (+700).
PASS.

Colorado Rockies playoff odds
Will they make the playoffs: Yes +5500 | No -100000
At -100000 odds, the Rockies have 99.9% implied odds of not making the playoffs.
Again, they have not had a winning record since 2018. They lost 103 games last season and did not make any significant improvement to the roster.
Betting them to not make the playoffs will likely hit, but you only win $0.10 for every $100 wagered. It’s not worth your time.
PASS.

Colorado Rockies win total
Over/Under: 59.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)
Excluding the strike-shortened 1994 season and the 2020 pandemic season, the only year in Colorado’s history in which it won fewer than 60 games was last season.
It has been unfortunate with pitching injuries. It has nowhere to go but up.
BET OVER 59.5 (-105).

To win NL West Division
- Los Angeles Dodgers -600 (bet $600 to win $100)
- San Diego Padres +1100 (bet $100 to win $1,100)
- Arizona Diamondbacks (bet $100 to win $1,100)
- San Francisco Giants +1200 (bet $100 to win $1,200)
- Colorado Rockies +20000 (bet $100 to win $20,000)
The Rockies aren’t anywhere near a conversation about winning the NL West. The 1st question is whether they can avoid losing 100 games. They only have 0.5% implied odds of winning the division.
The Dodgers have won the division 3 straight years and 11 of the last 12 seasons. They have won 100 or more games in 3 straight seasons and 5 of the last 7. They added the best player in the planet in Shohei Ohtani.
A successful season for Colorado is staying out of last place.
PASS.
To win National League
Odds: +20000 (bet $100 to win $20,000)
The Rockies have 0.5% implied odds of winning the National League pennant.
Again, the conversation about the Rockies in 2024 is not about whether or not they will be good. It is about whether or not they can simply be better than last season. Even their projected win total is set at such they could lose 100 games again.
They have the longest odds in the National League to win the pennant.
PASS.
