We are just days away from pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training camps and as the start of the 2016 MLB season gets closer, one thing seems to be for certain. People think this is finally the Chicago Cubs year.
After an offseason of adding outfielder Jason Heyward, second baseman Ben Zobrist and pitcher John Lackey to bolster an already stacked lineup full of rising stars like Kris Bryant, Jake Arrieta and Jorge Soler, the Cubs are the far-and-away favorites to win their first World Series since 1908.
The Westgate LV Superbook has the Cubs listed as the relatively big 4/1 favorites to win the 2016 Fall Classic, while the next closest team, the Houston Astros, are on the board all the way down at 10/1.
After the Cubs and Astros, there are five teams with 12/1 odds, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, Washington Nationals, Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants.
That list doesn't include defending World Series champions, the Kansas City Royals, who might be a tad disrespected on the board at 18/1.
So can the Cubs' live up to the pressure of being World Series favorites and end their 108-year-old curse? That's why they play the games.
