Were the Chicago Cubs opportunistic in winning 2016 championship?

When the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series, it was not a question of if they would win another title, but rather when. Talks of the Cubs building a modern-day dynasty were not too far-fetched.

My, how so much can change in just two short years.

2018 Cubs good, other teams better

Of course, the Cubs have not necessarily dropped off since 2016. A 92-win 2017 campaign ended in a five-game National League Championship Series loss; a 95-win 2018 season ended in the NL Wild Card Game.

No, the Cubs have not dropped off since winning it all in 2016.
