A St. Louis World Series wasn’t in the Cards, Chicago’s southside hopes went south and a pennant just wasn’t brewing in Milwaukee. But there are still a lot of opportunities to bet on baseball at Iowa sportsbooks.
MLB fans will have to hurry to take advantage of a couple of offers for tonight’s Boston at Houston ALCS opener. The first pitch is at 7:07 p.m. on Fox. Chris Sale will take the mound for the Red Sox. Houston counters with Framber Valdez.
Fox and FS1 have the ALCS.
