The Chicago Cubs are definitely the best team in baseball. Im not trying to be controversial as I dont know if this would count as a controversy. By record, the Cubs are the best. By run differential (plus-170), the Cubs are the best. By even more advanced secondary stats, such as team WAR or BaseRuns, the Cubs are the best. And, oh, they recently picked up Aroldis Chapman.The Cubs are the best, and they got better. They are World Series favorites.But if theres one thing we know about baseball, its that any World Series favorite still faces an uphill climb. In the regular season, if you have a choice between any one team and the field, you should always pick the field. As good as the Cubs are theyre not extraordinarily better than any other team.What are the Cubs odds of winning it all? FanGraphs projects its about 20 percent. Baseball Prospectus projects its about 18 percent. Maybe you think those are too low by a few points. Maybe you think theyre too low by half. Even in that case, the Cubs would fail to win it all more than half the time. Think 2001 Mariners. Think 1995 Indians. Think 1990 Athletics.If the Cubs were to stumble, who could slide in? Mathematically, any team could still win the World Series, but Ive made my five choices. They are below in no particular order (and Ill even go light on statistics).
