Colorado Rockies 2024 Season Preview
The Colorado Rockies are gearing up for another challenging season in 2024, aiming to bounce back from last year where they finished dead last in the NL West with a disappointing 59-103 record. Despite boasting a fervent fan base, the Rockies have faced an uphill battle in recent years, missing out on playoff action since their thrilling Wild Card run in 2018.
Key players to watch on the 2024 Colorado Rockies include third baseman Nolan Jones, shortstop Ezquiel Tovar, and established pitcher Kyle Freeland. The Rockies boast a solid defensive core, highlighted by Brenton Doyle's Gold Glove win in 2023.
However, the Rockies will be missing German Marquez and Antonio Senzatela for at least the first half of the season as they recover from surgery. Pitching also remains a major hurdle for the Rockies, with them ranking as the league's worst with a 5.72 team ERA last season.
After a tough year, the Rockies will need Freeland to return to his 2018 All-Star form to help stabilize the pitching staff. Let’s hope they can nurture young talent and bank on veteran experience at the same time.

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.
The Rockies went 59-103 in 2023, finishing the season with the worst record in the National League.
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 Ryan McMahon over 1.5 hits on a given night, or betting that German Marquez 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 sportsbook reviews to find the best bet for you.
Rockies Futures
Expectations are somewhat low right now in Colorado, so bettors will have to shop for the best line to get good odds on Rockies 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.
