The Colorado Rockies hope to improve after back-to-back disappointing seasons. Below, we look at the Colorado Rockies’ MLB futures odds, including their projected 2021 win total and World Series odds at BetMGM.
After making the playoffs in 2017 and ’18, the Rockies finished below .500 the past two seasons with consecutive fourth-place showings in the NL West. They went 26-34 in last year’s shortened season and were 71-91 in 2019.
In the offseason, they traded 3B Nolan Arenado to the St. Louis Cardinals. They’re hoping LHP Austin Gomber, acquired in the deal, pitches well enough to make the trade worthwhile.
Meanwhile, SS Trevor Story could end up getting traded by midseason as he’s in the final year of his contract. Sadly, he was the only Colorado batter to hit double-digit homers (11) last season.
Another sad 2020 stat: RHP Antonio Senzatela was the only Colorado starter to finish with an above-.500 record at 5-3.
In a division with the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers and the up-and-coming San Diego Padres, things don’t look promising for the Rockies in 2021.
Colorado Rockies’ 2021 World Series odds
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday, March 12 at 7:50 a.m. ET.
Odds: +10000 (bet $100 to win $10,000)
Only two teams have longer odds, being the Pittsburgh Pirates (+20000) and Texas Rangers (+15000).
Five teams – Arizona Diamondbacks, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners – have the same +10000 odds as the Rockies.
The Dodgers (+350) are the favorites with the New York Yankees (+550) not far behind.
At +10000, the Rockies’ implied probability of winning the World Series is 0.99% or 100/1 fractional odds. There’s no way the Rockies win the World Series, let alone make the playoffs. AVOID.

Colorado Rockies’ 2021 win total
Over/Under: 63.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)
Not winning at least 64 games is hard to do. In the last 162-game season, only one NL team (Miami Marlins: 57-105) finished with less than 63 wins.
The Rockies might be bad, but at this number, the lean is to the OVER 63.5 (-110).
Odds to win the NL West Division
- Dodgers: -250 (bet $250 to win $100)
- Padres: +200 (bet $100 to win $200)
- Diamondbacks: +5000 (bet $100 to win $5,000)
- Rockies: +5000 (bet $100 to win $5,000)
- San Francisco Giants: +5000 (bet $100 to win $5,000)
At +5000, the Rockies’ implied probability of winning the NL West is 1.96% or 50/1 fractional odds. Nope. PASS on a Rockies bet here, too.
Odds to win the National League
Odds: +8000 (bet $100 to win $8,000)
Only the Pirates (+10000) have longer odds, while the Rockies have the same odds as the Diamondbacks.
The Dodgers (+180) are the favorites, followed by the Padres (+425), Atlanta Braves (+600) and New York Mets (+600).
At +8000, the Rockies’ implied probability of winning the NL is 1.23% or 80/1 fractional odds. PASS.
