Breaking down the odds, the Brewers sit at -120, making them the favorites to clinch the title. Meanwhile, the Cubs stand at a tempting +150, and the Reds, having recently moved down the ladder, are at 5 to 1.
The smart bet would be on the Cubs. They provide value at their current price, so it’s hard to pass up. The odds have been moving exceptionally, as Chicago has more than double its current number just a week ago.
