With 103 wins in the 2016 regular season, the Chicago Cubs are the best team in baseball. They stormed into the playoffs, running away with the National League Central Division. The stakes and the hopes are high, especially for a team that hasn’t won the World Series in 108 years.
This Cubs’ team seems like the best bet for the streak to be broken. After all, they have won the most games in franchise history since 1910 and hit 100 wins for the first time since 1935. They had high expectations after their National League Championship Series appearance last year, and have met and exceeded those expectations.
