2025 Colorado Rockies Predictions with World Series Odds and Season Win Total Picks

by Ryan Cobbett - 3/19/2025

Colorado Rockies predictions Brenton Doyle

The Rockies extended their playoff drought to six years after failing to reach the playoffs last season. Colorado finished the season 61-101 and in last place of the NL West. They finished 37 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers for first place in the division and they missed out on the playoffs by 28 games after finishing in the National League’s basement. The Rockies accumulated a -247-run differential which was the second worst mark in the league.

Brenton Doyle was the Rockies best hitter last season as the centerfielder posted a 4.0 WAR after hitting 23 homeruns, stealing 30 bases and tallying 72 RBIs. Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar finished right behind Doyle with a 3.7 WAR after hitting a team best 26 homeruns. He also led the Rockies in runs (83), hits (176), RBIs (78), and doubles (45). Ryan McMahon and Michael Toglia joined Doyle and Tovar as the only other Colorado players to reach the 20-homerun mark on the season. Toglia finished with a 2.2 WAR after appearing in just 116 games last season. Toglia was also the only other Rockies player to reach the double digit stolen base mark finishing second on the team with 10 stolen bases. As a team Colorado finished the season ranked 19th in runs, 15th in homeruns, 25th in stolen bases, and 15th in OPS.

As for their pitching staff, they ranked last in the MLB with a 5.47 ERA, and they were the only team to have a season long team ERA over five. They also finished last in WHIP, posting a 1.52 mark, while also giving up 221 homeruns, the most in the league. The Rockies had consistency despite their poor numbers. They had four pitchers record more than 113 innings with Austin Gomber leading the team with 165 innings. He led the way with a 2.2 WAR after giving up a 4.75 ERA. Ryan Feltner finished second on the team with 162.1 innings and he led the rotation with a 4.49 ERA. Cal Quantrill, Kyle Freeland, Dakota Hudson, and Ty Blach all finished with a 4.98 or higher ERA. As for the bullpen, they didn’t do any better. They finished with a 5.41 ERA which was the worst mark out of all the bullpens in the MLB. The Rockies pitching was so bad last season that Luis Peralta, who recorded just 12.1 innings, finished fourth on the team with a 0.8 WAR.

Colorado Rockies Key Additions/Losses

This was a rather uneventful offseason for the Rockies as they continue to wait patiently for their prospects to develop. At the end of the season, Jake Cave, Dakota Hudson, Peter Lambert, Daniel Bard, Charle Blackmon, Quantrill, and Brendan Rodgers all hit the free agent market. Colorado would later lose reliever Justin Lawrence off waivers to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The additions were also minimal and of no significance. They brought in utility man Owen Miller via trade with the Milwaukee Brewers while claiming reliever Jimmy Herget off waivers from the Chicago Cubs. The Rockies would also sign infielder Kyle Farmer, catcher Austin Nola, reliever Diego Castillo, second baseman Thairo Estrada, infielder Keston Hiura, utility man Nick Martini, starting pitcher Jake Woodford, reliever Scott Alexander and reliever Tommy Doyle.

Colorado Rockies Prospect Outlook

Despite being in the midst of a rebuild, the Colorado farm system is weak. They rank just 18th in the MLB and have just two prospects listed in the MLB’s Top 100 Prospects list. Right hander Chase Dollander is the team’s top prospect and the 25th overall rated prospect in the MLB. Dollander is expected to be waiting in the wings for a rotation spot to become available either by poor performance or injury. Behind Dollander is Charlie Condon who can play in the outfield or at third base. Condon is expected to have a year to develop in the minor leagues before seeing any action with the Rockies, but his plus bat will keep his minor league tenure short.

Colorado Rockies X-Factors

The Rebuilding Process- The Rockies don’t have a lot going for them right now. Their farm system isn’t strong, and they had the worst pitching staff in the league and they didn’t do anything to improve. While their lineup isn’t terrible, they still don’t have the pieces in place to contend in this league. Rockies fans will have to patiently wait for their front office to develop some more prospects before they make any splashes in free agency or the trade market. The Rockies are in complete disarray as a franchise right now.

Colorado Rockies Expectations

The expectations are for the Rockies to once again be in contention for the basement of the National League. They could have some company with the Miami Marlins in for a down year, but the Rockies are nowhere near competitive. They should allow their top prospects time to develop and mature before rushing them to the big leagues and they should have a quick leash in their rotation in order to get some of their depth pieces some more exposure.

Colorado Rockies Notable Odds:

Win Total: 59.5

World Series Champions- +50000

Pennant Winners- +20000

Division Winners- +50000

NL MVP- Michael Toglia +20000

2025 Colorado Rockies Predictions

There are no attractive futures for the Rockies. They are going to repeat as one of the worst teams in the league and will likely regress from last season. Their 61-101 record was actually four games better than their expected record thanks to their 34-25 record in one-run or extra inning games. They won’t repeat that luck again and they may have gotten worse over the offseason. I am taking the under on the game total, though there is one positive for Colorado fans and that is, they won’t be as bad as the Chicago White Sox.
