The Colorado Rockies are facing a bleak outlook for the 2025 baseball season, according to the PECOTA algorithm. The algorithm predicts that the Rockies have a 0% chance of making the postseason, with the team projected to win a league-low 55 games. If accurate, this season would mark the worst in franchise history, with the team potentially suffering through their third consecutive 100-loss season. The main issue lies with the team’s pitching staff, which is expected to give up a league-leading 870 runs. However, this would be an improvement over the previous year’s performance where the team gave up 923 runs.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Los Angeles Dodgers are predicted to have a 99.6% chance of making the postseason and are projected to win 104 games. The Chicago White Sox and the Miami Marlins are the other two teams alongside the Rockies with a 0% chance of advancing to the playoffs, according to the algorithm.
Colorado Rockies manager Bud Black remains optimistic despite the grim projections, and fans are hopeful for better performances from the team. With the 2025 season looming, it remains to be seen if the Rockies can defy the odds and outperform expectations.
