Colorado Rockies Open at 60-1 to Reach 2017 World Series

So what do you think are the chances that the Colorado Rockies will win the World Series in 2017? If you’re ready to place your bet, Las Vegas is ready to accept it.

With a core including All-Stars Carlos Gonzalez, Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu plus a young and improved pitching corps, many in the Rocky Mountain region think the Rockies have a legitimate chance at the 2017 postseason. Las Vegas, however, doesn’t seem to be in the Rocky Mountain region.

Colorado is one of three teams to start the season as a 60-1 favorite to win the 2017 World Series, according to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. The Rockies join the Chicago White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays at 60-1 odds.

The defending champion World Champion Chicago Cubs open the betting as the odds-on favorite to repeat as winners, coming in at 3-1 odds. Three teams (the Boston Red Sox, Washington Nationals and National League West foe Los Angeles Dodgers) opened at 10-1 odds.
