Is 2016 Finally the Year the Chicago Cubs Win the World Series?

Cubs fans will tell you this is the year they win the World Series. Some sportsbooks now agree. Can they finally end the 107 year drought?


For the longest time, it seemed like the Cubs would never win a World Series. After back to back championships in 1907 and 1908, the team struggled to find their footing and have failed to win the trophy. It’s not for a lack of trying, as they have actually played in 10 World Series matches since that time, but always fell short.

In 2016, that losing streak may end. The Cubs are the current favorites to win the World Series, according to GTbets, and many Chicago fans are adamant that this is the year the streak ends. Only time will tell, and there are still a number of games to be played before the top contenders are decided.

Who Will the Cubs be Competing Against?

Coach Joe Moddon has been a source of inspiration for Cubs fans for what he has been able to do with his team. They went 26-4 over their first 30 games, and Jake Arrieta scored the second no-hitter of his career against the Cincinnati Reds, who they defeated 16-0. They are now sitting on +275 odds to win.

The Cubs are not invincible however, and a number of strong teams are vying for their shot at taking the World Series. The Washington Nationals have had an extremely impressive season so far, going 70-49. GTbets list their odds at +500 to win the championship. Not far behind are the fan-favorite San Francisco Giants, who hope to keep their even year streak going with a 2016 World Series win. The Giant’s odds are listed at +650.

Fans from around the country are hoping the Chicago Cubs win the World Series this year. They have emerged as the best team around, and it’s about time they got a break.
