It seems to be the case anytime the Chicago Cubs make it to the postseason. They become the “darlings” of the playoffs. This year was a little different because of their path. First the needed a Wild Card win on the road in Pittsburgh, and that was to earn a shot about baseball’s best in the Cardinals. Not everyone was on the bandwagon yet. Well, with the only two better teams record wise dispatched, the Cubs are looking like the favorite.
This is, of course, Vegas. But they make their money on these odds and they aren’t something to turn your head at.
