While this is largely the same team that put together a World Series run, they have struggled closing in on some of the elite teams in the league. The Cubs still have a pretty strong core around themselves, with Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo. Javier Baez has also become one of the top names in the game, and is an exciting player to watch. Adding Jason Kipnis and Steven Souza in the offseason give the Cubs a couple of players to fill the needs they have. If Yu Darvish can find his form, and the rest of the staff holds down the fort, this can be a good rotation. Kyle Hendricks has limited production against him, but we have seen Jon Lester and Jose Quintana begin to struggle. If the backend of the rotation can’t find their worth, the Cubs do not have much to make up for it.

The Cubs are one of baseball's oldest franchises. Through their 148 seasons, they experienced one of the longest droughts between championships in all of sports. Prior to the Cubs' seventh-game victory over the Cleveland Indians in 2016, they had not been in the World Series since 1945, and had not won since 1908. However, in 2016, the Windy City faithful finally rid themselves of one of baseball's most enduring curses. The traditional story involved a goat and a poor kid named Bart. Nevertheless, anyone who bet against the Cubbies in that storybook game-seven of 2016 laid down a losing sports bet.
Chicago Cubs fans had to be almost as excited with the launch of Illinois sports betting. There are a number of physical locations where baseball fans can make wagers on one of America's favorite sports franchises. DraftKings
