The odds of the Astros winning has gone up as well.

Before the series even started, odds-makers gave Houston a 70% chance of winning.

Philip Ernst, a statistics professor at Rice University, says the Astros’ odds dropped down to 27% after losing the first two games at home.

After sweeping the Nationals in Washington D.C., Vegas is betting on the Astros again.

Ernst says odds-makers have determined the Astros have a 63% chance of winning either Game Six or Game Seven.

According to the MLB, only three teams in history have ever overcome 0-2 starts at home to win the World Series.
