World Series Odds Updated and Game Three
After losing game one of the World Series to the Nationals, the Astros were still favored to win it all. They went from -220 favorites before the series, down to -117 favored after losing game one. Now that they have dropped two games, they are underdogs to win the World Series for the first time in months.
The Current World Series Odds are:
Washington Nationals -260
Houston Astros +220
Apparently the Washington Nationals are just an absolute buzzsaw. After winning the play-in game against the Brewers, they went on to topple overall NL favorite LA Dodgers 3 games to 2. They then swept the Cardinals 4-0 in the NLCS. MLB Playoff Picture
