Cubs favorites to win the World Series

---

The Chicago Cubs are the favorites to win the World Series with 3-1 odds with various Vegas sportsbooks.

"I don’t get it,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said via ESPN.com. "I don’t want to get it. ... To be World Series favorites really doesn’t matter. I don’t look at it in those terms. You have to prove it on the field. To have other people think you’re favored to win the last game of the year, that’s wonderful, but I don’t process the day that way at all.”

The New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants are the next favorites to win it all at 7-1.3
