Home » Blog » Cubs Still On Top Of Baseball Futures
We check in with the baseball futures to see the top spot has not changed much since we checked in a few weeks ago. The Chicago Cubs are still favorites to win it all this season. However, two other teams have began to get closer.
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. Last week, the Mets were right behind the Cubs with 10-1. The Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays, were right behind the Mets also with 10-1.
Now the Giants and the Red Sox have moved to +800 odds. For the last couple months no team has had better futures odds than +1000 other than the Cubs.
The defending champs, the Royals, continue to play good baseball, but not good enough to compete with those at the top of the odds. However, they have moved up to the seventh best odds as they continue to lead their divison.
