Chicago Cubs

The Cubs are following the traditional path of NL teams that win the World Series. Their pitching staff is the best in the MLB. Cubs’ pitchers have an overall ERA of 2.57. That’s a lower ERA than many of the aces on other teams. The bullpen has a great ERA at 3.25.

But the Cubs could be a false favorite. Manager Joe Maddon continues to use his starters late in games. Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester, and John Lackey might have tired arms by the time the playoffs come around. There is a reason that the team with the best record in baseball doesn’t often win the World Series. If the Cubs don’t win the World Series this year, it could be because of the tired arms.

Seattle Mariners

The dark horse team that has moved up the odds board this season is the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners are only 5 games behind the Texas Rangers in the NL West. They have a legitimate AL MVP candidate in Robinson Cano. They have an ace in Felix Hernandez. They have 2 excellent starters in Taijuan Walker and Hisashi Iwakuma. Plus, the bullpen is ranked sixth in MLB.

The Mariners have all of the ingredients needed to win the World Series. The Mariners are now a +1600 choice to win the World Series. Online bookies need to pay attention to this team. If the money continues to flow to the Mariners, adjust odds accordingly.

Kansas City Royals

Speaking of great bullpens, the Kansas City Royals have moved up to +1800. The defending champs haven’t changed the formula. Manager Ned Yost pulls his starter after inning 6. KC’s bullpen is ranked first in MLB. The Royals bullpen has a 2.61 ERA. To top it off the bullpen’s win-loss record is 12 and 3. Don’t underestimate the defending champs, they have tasted victory and are back for more.
