A bettor at BetMGM has some serious confidence in the Astros' ability to win the World Series.
Someone placed a $145,000 bet on the Astros at -145 to win their second World Series in five seasons. That bet would return $100,000 if Houston beats Atlanta.
The Astros are significant favorites over the Braves (+120) to win the World Series and are also favored to win Game 1. The Astros are 0-3 in franchise history in World Series Game 1 but are 1.5-run favorites Tuesday night. The Astros are +150 to cover the spread and -135 to win Game 1 straight up.
