On last Saturday’s episode of the FanGraphs podcast Effectively Wild, host Ben Lindbergh and guests Joe Sheehan and Rany Jazayerli discussed which teams would be the most likely to win the World Series over the next five seasons. Sheehan picked the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, Houston Astros, and New York Yankees. Lindbergh had a similar list, omitting the Indians in favor of the St. Louis Cardinals. Jazayerli’s list aimed a bit more long-term with his picks, selecting the Cubs, Dodgers, and Yankees but also selecting the up-and-coming Chicago White Sox and Atlanta Braves.
