Colorado Rockies 2024 World Series Odds
It is fair to ask why the Colorado Rockies even bother fielding a team. Colorado is one of the biggest money losers in baseball, both on the field and at the betting window. Colorado is a team that gamblers want nothing to do with, at least from a support perspective. On the other hand, the Rockies are a popular pick to bet big money against. Colorado is at the basement of a top-heavy National League West, which has the powerhouse Los Angeles Dodgers and four mediocrities.

It has gotten to the point where fans, gamers, and observers can say that the Colorado Rockies aren’t even trying. Colorado has had two playoff appearances since 2010 and has not finished with a winning record since 2018. The Rockies lost 103 games in 2023 and showered gamblers with plenty of red ink. Strangely, Colorado ranks in the middle of the pack for MLB payroll. Yet, they have not built anything close to a team that could reach the .500 mark.
Last season, the Rockies became a team to oppose by gamblers who wanted nothing to do with them. While Colorado did lose a lot of money on the moneyline, some superior teams lost more. It all comes down to pricing, and Colorado was priced so favorably that they were able to offer value occasionally. Colorado was close to breaking even on the runline for the same reason.
The big concern for 2024 is whether younger starters who were forced into action last year learn enough to be competitive when called upon in 2024.
It doesn’t help that they slept through the offseason, adding a backup catcher and two starting pitchers who strike out fewer batters than almost anyone else in baseball.
It would appear that the plan is to get hitters to put the ball in play. While they have two of the best defenders in baseball with Ezequiel Tovar and Brenton Doyle, more balls in play at Coors Field is a very, very bad idea.
Coors Field is great at turning batted balls into hits. So maybe don’t get pitchers who already allow too many hits. It’s not like you could have expected the Rockies to trade for Corbin Burnes or sign a free-agent starter, but even if you set the bar extremely low, they somehow still stayed under it.
