SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Rockies spent $104 million this winter to upgrade their bullpen, but that has not made the Las Vegas oddsmakers bullish on the club’s chances in 2018.
Bovada released its odds Tuesday, pegging the Rockies 18-1 long shots to win the National League pennant. Though the Rockies won 87 games last season and qualified for the playoffs for the first time in 2009, the oddsmakers are not impressed.
In fact, Bovada is betting that Colorado will finish fourth in the National League West, ahead of only San Diego. The Rockies are given a 6-1 shot of winning what many consider the toughest division in baseball.
