Chicago Cubs Best 2020 Futures Odds
| Future Bet | Odds (7/19) | Where to bet |
|---|---|---|
| World Series | +2200 | BetRivers(now live in IL!) |
| NL Pennant | +1100 | BetRivers |
| NL Central | +225 | BetRivers |
| Win Total | 32.5 (o-112) | BetRivers |
| Make Playoffs | +115 | PointsBet & DraftKings |
At +2200, the Cubs are a bit ahead of the middle of the MLB pack, holding the ninth-best World Series odds (in a three-way tie), and their +1100 Pennant odds are tied for the sixth-best in the NL.
And even though their +225 odds imply a 30.8% chance of claiming the NL Central title, they're still the division favorites, as they hold a slight edge over the Cardinals (+240), Reds (+265) and Brewers (+300).
A win total of 32.5 (with -112 juice on the over) is also tops in the division, though that mark is actually shared with the Cardinals. The Reds (31.5) and Brewers (30.5) are once again right in the mix.
And as for the Cubs' playoff chances, their +115 odds imply a slightly less than 50% likelihood — 46.5%.

2020 Chicago Cubs Player Futures Analysis
Taken from Sean Zerillo's Longshots and Sleepers to Bet for the 2020 Season:
Yu Darvish to win NL Cy Young Award
Darvish is +2500 to win the NL Cy Young at MGM and about half of that price at seven other books where I checked to compare odds.
The righty pitched in only eight games in 2018, missing time with a variety of ailments, and he struggled during the first half of the 2019 season (5.01 ERA, 2.27 K/BB). Still, he was dominant over the final four months of the year, and particularly in the second half (81.1 IP, 2.76 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 7 BB, 118 K), walking 15 batters over his final 19 starts.
