2016 World Series Betting
Losing the World Series is disappointing for the fans and players, that team’s overall season cannot be viewed as anything but a success. The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians each entered 2016 with the first and second longest World Series droughts in the MLB and now – on either Tuesday or Wednesday – one of those teams will end their extreme dry spell. Both Cleveland and Chicago have some great players under contract for next season, but if either team falls flat in 2017 – this could deserve a spot on this list.
Through the first five games of the Series – which the Indians lead 3-2 – the motto has been to get the lead early and avoid both teams bullpen. It may have seemed a little outlandish to think at the start of the season that a relief pitcher could win World Series MVP – Andrew Miller of the Indians and how he has been used in the postseason is going against most conventional baseball logic. There are still – potentially – two games left and a lot can happen over the next 18 innings.
