Sports editor prediction: Cubs to win game one

Prediction: Cubs win 4-1 to take a 1-0 World Series lead.

The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians will begin game one of the World Series 7 p.m. tonight which can be viewed on FOX.

Jon Lester, Chicago Cubs starting pitcher and co-National League Championship Series MVP, will take the mound against Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber. Both have an ERA under one in three starts in the 2016 playoffs and have been lights out in the 2016 playoffs. Lester has the slight edge in ERA – 0.86 ERA compared to Kluber’s 0.98 – and has more playoff experience overall.
