  • The Rockies have a win total in the 60s for the fourth consecutive year.
  • Kris Bryant has a home run prop of 19.5 after hitting 10 homers last season.

The Colorado Rockies have nowhere to go but up after finishing last in the National League West over the previous two years. They haven’t placed better than fourth in the division since a runner-up finish in 2018.

But things will likely stay the same in 2024, as Colorado projects to be one of the worst teams by Major League Baseball odds once again.

Rockies Futures Odds

Win Total: 60.5
NL West: +25000
NL Pennant: +25000
World Series: +50000

The latest MLB odds don’t think much of the Rockies, who are tied with the Oakland Athletics and Chicago White Sox for the longest price to win the pennant and World Series.

Oakland is the only team with a lower win total (56.5) than Colorado.

It marks the fourth consecutive season that the Rockies have had a win total in the 60s, with this year’s mark being the lowest over that span.

Rockies Offseason Moves

After winning just 59 games in 2023, the Rockies focused on pitching improvements in the offseason.

It makes sense that Colorado opted to bring in some arms, as the team ranked last in the league by allowing 5.91 runs per game last year. 

Quantrill and Hudson will join the rotation this spring, with the former slotting as high as No. 2 behind Kyle Freeland. 

Quantrill was 4-7 with a 5.24 ERA in 19 starts for the Cleveland Guardians last year, but his 2022 campaign was much more promising when he went 15-5 with a 3.38 ERA in 32 starts. 

Hudson made 79 starts across six seasons with the Cardinals, recording a 3.84 ERA.

Rockies 2024 Betting Prediction

Prediction: Kris Bryant under 19.5 home runs (-110)

Of all the players with a listed home run total, Christian Yelich (17.5) is the only hitter with a lower mark than Colorado’s Kris Bryant. And yet, this number is still too high.

Bryant has hit 15 homers over the last two seasons with the Rockies. He has been limited to 122 games over that span but is unlikely to be healthier in his age-32 season.

Bryant is projected to finish with 18 home runs, according to THE BAT. ZiPS offers even more wiggle room with a projection of 13 bombs.

Both projections (available at FanGraphs) support taking the under with this MLB betting pick.
