Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook released their betting odds on the 2017 World Series Champions, and the Cubs were the heavy favorite to win it all.

The Cubs were at 3-to-1 to win next year's Fall Classic and most Sportsbooks project that they will win close to 100 games again next season.

The Top Ten odds were Chicago Cubs (3/1), Los Angeles Dodgers (10/1), Washington Nationals (10/1), Boston Red Sox (10/1), New York Mets (12/1), Cleveland Indians (12/1), Houston Astros (12/1), Toronto Blue Jays (14/1), San Francisco Giants (16/1), and Texas Rangers (16/1).

The Cubs hated rivals St. Louis Cardinals had 20/1 odds of winning the 2017 World Series.
