Colorado Rockies Baseball Predictions 2010: Looking to get back to its 2007 National League Championship form, the Colorado Rockies open another year of Spring Training with high hopes. Last season, the Rockies surprised most after a disastrous 2008 with an outstanding 92-70 record, which earned them a NL Wild Card berth.
But with the league well aware of what Colorado is capable of doing, no one will be overlooking this team any longer. Having said that, what are their chances of winning it all this season? According to Baseball Predictions 2010 experts at SPORTSBOOK.com, the Colorado Rockies [20/1 or +2000 ML] currently have some pretty average sports betting odds to win the 2010 World Series.
The biggest question for the Rockies now becomes: will this team build on the momentum from last season, or will they have a disappointing year like the one after reaching the World Series? Considering that everything starts and ends with starting pitching, this is what the Rockies’ rotation will be like this season:
Ubaldo Jimenez (15-12, 3.47 ERA, 33 Starts, 218 IP, 198 K) will be the first option. He will be followed by sinker-baller, Aaron Cook (11-6, 4.16 ERA, 27 Starts, 158 IP). Jorge De La Rosa (16-9, 4.38 ERA, 33 Starts, 185 IP, 193 K) will likely occupy the third spot. Jason Hammel (10-8, 4.33 ERA, 34 Starts, 176 IP, 133 K) and Jeff Francis will be making his comeback after missing all of 2009 due to injury.
