Cubs World Series Favorites
The Cubs currently sit on top of the MLB Futures and have been sitting their comfortably since the beginning of the season. .
The last time the Cubs weren’t on top of the MLB futures was the first week of the season., Then, the Royals were the top favorites of the 2016 World Series odds after beating the New York Mets in Five games this past World Series. Meanwhile, the Mets were right behind them at 10-1. The Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays, NLCS and ALCS runners up, were right behind the Mets also with 10-1.
The odds have been shaken up a bit since then. The Cubs sit on top. The San Francisco Giants sit with the second best odds at the moment. World Series runner-ups the Mets are tied with the always-popular LA Dodgers for the third best odds in the league.
The defending champs, the Royals, will be seeing some likely turnover next season with Alex Gordon, Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist expected to be leaving for different franchises, which explains their drop in the odds and bettors hesitation to lay money on them.
