MLB Betting in Colorado

Colorado residents have been able to enjoy online MLB betting since May 2020 when sports betting was legalized in the Centennial State. The MLB holds pride and place as the pastime of American sports fans in the summer months when the action dominates the sport and betting schedules. The MLB season begins in April and finishes in October with the World Series, the crown that all 30 teams compete to win over the course of the term.

There are betting angles beyond the regular season and the World Series, with the ability to bet on the free agency with the leading sportsbooks when the season is not in play. Colorado is not a hotbed of MLB action with only the Colorado Rockies present in the state. The franchise have not been overly successful, reaching the World Series only once in 2007 when they were beaten by the Boston Red Sox.

However, the quality of betting sites available should allow fans of the Rockies and MLB fans to wager on games and outright markets. Here is a sample of the best ones:

There are numerous MLB betting options from the top wagering sites in Colorado for bettors to consider. The most notable of these options is the bet on the moneyline for a game, which is a straight bet on which team you believe will win the game. It is an easy wager as it involves simply picking one team over another. The two sides will have values, either positive or negative to reflect which is the underdog and favorite respectively. The number reflects the value of your payout for a successful bet.

MLB also has bets on the run line, where you bet on the margin of runs that are between the two sides at the end of the contest. The sportsbook decides the favorite and the underdog based on the past and gives its verdict with two numbers for each side. For example, the Colorado Rockies may have a +2.5 value and the Boston Red Sox a -2.5 value. A bet on the Rockies would succeed if the Rockies won the game or lost by fewer than two runs. A wager on the Red Sox would win if they secured a victory by over three runs.

Over/under are simple to understand and wager on in MLB, simply picking over or under the value for runs scored in a game provided by the sportsbook. These are also present for the team and individual props. The odds can be fairly low, but the right stake can be profitable if your guess is correct.

The top MLB betting sites will be creative in their approach to wagers, and some are now offering same-game parlay wagers, which combine several markets from one game into one large punt. BetMGM Sportsbook among others have specialized in these markets and offer compelling odds for their parlay options.

The Colorado Rockies are the only MLB team in the Centennial State, and are the focus of much of the online betting in Colorado. However, residents of Colorado can bet on any team in the MLB whether it be a regular-season game or the post-season, all the way into the off-season with the top MLB betting sites. Operators such as DraftKings, FOX Bet, and BetRivers have a variety of markets to satisfy the requirements of all bettors.
