Looking for a long-shot bet? How about Cubs World Series odds?
The baseball world is in a lockout. The Chicago Cubs are the fifth-worst team in the league. Their World Series odds are now +8000. They are fourth in their division. According to Forbes, the Cubs have the fourth most valuable team. They have 18th highest payroll in baseball. It's the most expensive game day experience in MLB at $109.78 per person.
The odds that Chicago Cubs will win the World Series before the season starts are +8000. The front office has a lot of money to spend and is interested in signing Carlos Correa. Even after the 2021 trade deadline, the team still managed to post a team OPS, average, on-base-percentage and slugging percentage in the top half of baseball. The odds are getting closer to the Reds at +4000 with a few more signings and maybe even lower.
