As pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, it is a good time to revisit the betting odds for this year's World Series.
The Chicago Cubs haven't won the World Series since 1908, but a playoff run last season and a roster upgrade this winter have made them favorites in 2016.
According to VegasInsider.com, the Cubs are the chalk at 7/1.
Chicago earned the second wild-card spot in the National League last season. It beat Pittsburgh in the wild-card game, then dispatched St. Louis in the divisional round before being swept by the Mets in the NLCS. The Cubs then signed outfielder Jason Heyward and versatile infielder Ben Zobrist as free agents, and the bandwagon took on more passengers.
