ALCS Game 3 Predictions, Boosted Odds, & More (10/18/21)
It’s been a harrowing MLB postseason to watch. Not only is it looking more and more like the Dodgers’ playoff dreams could be dashed after two consecutive walk-off defeats against the Atlanta Braves, but now, the Astros and Red Sox are facing off tonight to see who will break their 1-1 tie in the American League Championship Series.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook app, roughly 2/3rds of their bettors with skin in this game have put their money down on Boston, who are +1.5 underdogs on the run line. By contrast, the Houston Astros only account for roughly 1/3rd of the money being placed on the line tonight.
Does Higher Risk Mean Higher Returns?
We’ll see, but right now, Boston is -120 on the moneyline, meaning that for every $100 a bettor wants to win off the Sox’s potential win, they will have to risk $120 of their juice to turn that profit. It seems that there’s a lot of fans willing to face higher risks for higher rewards, and DraftKings has another offer that could pull Sox fans more profits: Boston Strong!
This boosted odds bet (+120) is a prop that applies if the Sox hit 2+ home runs tonight. When you’ve got cannon arms like Rafael Devers on the field, this bet could definitely be one to watch. Bettors can tune in at 8:08 EST tonight to watch the action unfold, and keep tabs on their preferred online sportsbooks to get the most accurate, up-to-the-minute odds on the action.
