Colorado Rockies 2026 Season Preview

The Colorado Rockies enter 2026 after hitting what fans hope is the true bottom of a painful rebuilding cycle. Following a franchise-worst 43-win season in 2025—a campaign marked by an MLB-low .218 team batting average and a staff ERA that ballooned toward 6.00—the organization has turned the keys over to a new leadership regime. President of Baseball Operations Paul DePodesta and manager Warren Schaeffer are prioritizing a "defense and development" philosophy, aiming to fix a roster that was historically poor at both making contact and preventing runs. While the win total projection remains the lowest in baseball at 54.5, there is a glimmer of hope centered on a young offensive core featuring Gold Glove shortstop Ezequiel Tovar and Silver Slugger catcher Hunter Goodman, who exploded for 31 home runs last season. They are joined by a wave of high-upside youth, including Jordan Beck and the impending arrival of top prospect Charlie Condon, as the Rockies attempt to build a more athletic lineup that can better navigate the spacious gaps of Coors Field.

The pitching staff remains the team's greatest hurdle, but the 2026 rotation offers a more veteran look than in years past. Colorado spent nearly $20 million to bring in stabilizing arms Michael Lorenzen, Jose Quintana, and Tomoyuki Sugano, hoping their experience can mitigate the "Coors Effect" while mentoring top pitching prospect Chase Dollander. The health of the rotation is already being tested this spring, as Opening Day starter Kyle Freeland has been managing mid-back spasms and depth piece Pierson Ohl was recently lost for the season to Tommy John surgery. With former ace Antonio Senzatela transitioning to a relief role and Kris Bryant still sidelined by chronic back issues, the Rockies are firmly in evaluation mode. Success in 2026 won't be measured by the standings, but by whether this new-look pitching approach can finally provide a foundation for their emerging power hitters to thrive.

Betting on the Colorado Rockies

Here are some instances of betting options for the Colorado Rockies.

Rockies Spread (Run Line)

When betting on baseball, you’ll be faTBA ced with three standard options: the moneyline, over/under and run line.

The run line is a bet on the margin of victory, like a point spread. But because baseball is low scoring, the spread will almost always be -1.5 for the favorite and +1.5 for the underdog. The payouts for each will just be adjusted based on each team’s strength.

Here���s a brief example of a run line for a hypothetical Rockies game:

• Baltimore Orioles (+1.5) 
• Colorado Rockies (-1.5)

As shown above, the Rockies are favored by 1.5 runs against the Orioles; the minus sign (-) indicates Colorado is the favorite, while a plus sign (+) is used to denote the underdog. Bettors who wanted to back Colorado here would be “laying” those 1.5 runs, meaning for their bets to cash the Rockies would need to win by two runs or more. Bettors who selected the Orioles +1.5 would win if Baltimore won outright or kept a loss to 1 run.

Rockies Moneylines

Many first time bettors are wary of run line bets, especially when riding with the hometown team. In that case, moneyline wagers are often seen as the safer way to go. A moneyline bet is a bet on who wins the game -- no run line involved.

Let’s use the same example from before to understand the moneyline better:

• Baltimore Orioles +150
• Colorado Rockies -180

Just as with run lines, the minus sign (-) signifies a team is favored, while the plus sign (+) means a team is an underdog. The moneyline odds, written in American odds format here, indicate how big or small a favorite that team is, written in increments of $100. For example, to win $100 on the Rockies, a bettor would need to risk $180. On the flip side, a $100 bet on the Orioles would net $150 if they pulled the upset.

Odds can differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so always make sure you shop for the best line with The Action Network app.

Rockies Over/Unders

Betting on a team to win or cover a run line isn’t the only type of wager allowed on MLB games. Almost all sportsbooks will offer a total on the game, also known as an over/under. This bet is not on the winner of the contest, but on the number of runs the two teams will combine to score; sportsbooks hang a number, and bettors can wager either over or under that total.

If the number for our hypothetical Rockies-Orioles matchup was 8 runs, over bettors would require 9 points or more to cash their tickets, while those who bet the under would need 7 or fewer runs. If the two teams scored exactly 8 runs between them, that bet would push and all wagers would be refunded.

Rockies Props

Some bettors find more entertainment and success betting on more specific outcomes than the result of the game. Prop bets cover a wide market of wagers on player stats, discrete in-game events, and any style of yes/no question. Many props are bets on specific players and their performance, such as betting Kyle Karros over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that Kyle Freeland will strike out over 9.5 batters. Some props can be shorter term, such as betting on the number of runs scored in the first five innings or who will hit a home run. Offerings tend to vary depending on the sportsbook, so use our reviews of the best sportsbooks to find the best bet for you.

Rockies Futures

Bettors should shop for the best line to get good odds on Rockies MLB futures bets. Futures are bets that focus on long-term outcomes, like the Rockies to win the NL West, win the National League Pennant, win the World Series, or even individual awards like winning league MVP.
