    Watch out for the Cubs to repeat

    Just a hunch

    I know terrible pitching but they seem to be overpowering the ball

    Arrieta, Lester, Quintana, Hendricks with Wade Davis closing is not terrible pitching.

    It will be a great world series when the Yankees and Cubs play this year. The Yankees will win it in 6 games.

    Cubs still might not make it AND the other teams are far superior. Their pitching had career years last and now they're just OLD without Hendricks as Cy Young type. Bullpen is meh

    They got lucky last year, sometimes that's what it takes

    Lester, Arrieta, Quintana and Hendricks are 33, 31, 28 and 27.

    D2bets do you think that you could just refrain from staying out of one thread about a Chicago sports team?

    Cleveland Completely Choked last year, Cubs had no business winning. Bats are inconsistent, starting pitching not what it was last year, bullpen is garbage. The Cubs are destined for another 100 years of nothing. Brewers win that mediocre division. LAD and the Nations are the only real contenders from the NL.

    Dodgers, Houston and maybe the Indians I give a chance to win it all.. Dodgers are having a magical year and with Kershaw coming back I think they win it all... Cubs and Rockies don't have enough.. Washington will come up short as well...

    On paper the Dodgers are supposed to just close your eyes and win the World Series but these Cubs are dangerous you don't want to play them

    Would not be surprised if Lackey makes the playoff rotation and Hendricks comes out of the pen.

    Nationals will get to the WS before Cubs, Indians might be the team returning to the WS if the Red Sox don't knock them off first.

    Have you watched Edwards Jr and Co vs any team that can hit? Bullpen is a Gong Show.

    Dodgers #1 will play wild card winner #4; Nationals #2 would play Cubs #3.
