ODDS TO WIN WORLD SERIES (via FOX Bet)*

Atlanta Braves: -225 (bet $10 to win $14.44 total)
Houston Astros: +180 (bet $10 to win $28 total)

*As of 1/1/2021 at 1 p.m. ET

And in his World Series Game 5 picks, longtime oddsmaker Dave Sharapan made a case that the Astros might be a good bet to come back and win it all:

"I don't want this to be the last gambling opportunity of the 2021 MLB season, and if Houston wins, it won't be. So, if you think we can win one game tonight, I think we can bet Houston to win the Series at +400. That will look like a very good price and give us more opportunities if we can get this thing to Tuesday."

PICK if you think Astros win Game 5: Astros to win the World Series (+400 at FOX Bet; bet $10 to win $50 total)

Now, let's briefly look back at how we got here. 

National League

The Atlanta Braves, who are in their first World Series since 1999, were +1000 at the beginning of the regular season. 

American League

The Houston Astros began the season at +2500 odds to make the Fall Classic.
