If I had $100 Free Bets …

The Astros (-180)  are a sizable favorite over the Phillies (+150)️. If you want to get creative, check out Series Handicap with eight outcomes ranging from -700 (Astros +2.5 games) to the risky +500 (Phillies -2.5).

If PointsBet gave us $100 in Free Bets, here’s how we’d invest:

• $60 on Astros -1.5 (+115): Given Houston’s dominant arms (2.89 regular season ERA) and World Series experience (4 of last 6), this is the value play.
• $40 on Astros -2.5 (+275): A gorgeous price if the Phillies phlop.
