Sportsbooks have installed the Houston Astros as World Series favorites over the Atlanta Braves.
Caesars Sportsbook opened with the Astros as -150 favorites over the Braves after Atlanta finished off the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night in the NLCS to earn its spot in the Series. The price has since ticked down to Houston -145, with the Braves listed at +125.
Game 1 of the World Series is Tuesday night in Houston.
The Astros are back in the World Series for the third time in five seasons and have some sportsbooks facing a significant liability.
