Mattress Mack Places Massive Bet on Houston Astros to Win World Series

Mattress Mack is back at it again—this time placing a $2 million wager on his hometown Astros to win the World Series.

The bet would return $10.6 million if the Astros win it all.

The Astros had +550 odds—behind only the Dodgers and Yankees—when Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale drove across state lines to place the bet in Louisiana, per the Houston Chronicle. Sports betting is still not legal in Texas.

The Astros certainly look like they are on the right track for this bet to cash.

They lead the AL West by nine games entering Thursday and currently own the second-best record in the American League, behind only the Yankees.
