Best bets: 2023 Chicago Cubs World Series odds, win total and more

In 2022, the'Chicago Cubs went 74-88, placing 3rd in the National League Central Division standings. The Cubs scored 4.06 runs per game while allowing 4.51. Chicago fans knew that they were in for a rebuild, but the club played well down the stretch and has now added some new pieces in what could be a rebuild on the double.

The Cubs signed free agent SS Dansby Swanson, who clocked a career-best 6.4 WAR last season. Swanson should help Chicago at the plate and in the field. He hit 65 doubles and 52 home runs over the last 2 seasons. Also donning Cubbies’ threads in 2023 will be OF Cody Bellinger — a former NL MVP reclamation project, 1B Eric Hosmer and DH Trey Mancini. So, perhaps the offense takes a significant step forward.

Let’s analyze the Chicago Cubs’ World Series odds, along with their projected win total, playoff, division and NL odds as we make our expert MLB picks and predictions.
