Craig Mucklow’s rooting interest in the MLB postseason is clear. The vice president of trading for Caesars Sportsbook is A.B.H.

Anyone. But. Houston.

“We have the $3 million at 10-1 with Mattress Mack,” Mucklow said. “So we are anything but an Astros fan.”

The American League division series begin Tuesday with the Astros facing the Seattle Mariners in one best-of-five set, while the New York Yankees take on the Cleveland Guardians.

Houston is a -240 favorite at the Westgate SuperBook to win the series over the Mariners, who are 2-1 to advance. The Yankees are -215 favorites over the Guardians (+185).
