Question

With Harden on the roster, are the Cubs the favorite for World Series Champs?

Answer 1

I dont know it may be the year

Answer 2

If anyone is looking like the favorite right now, it's the Angels. The Angels have even better pitching than the Cubs and, playing against stronger opponents, have compiled a better record. The Cubs will be doing well just to win the division. Their lead is only 2.5 games over both the Brewers and Cardinals. The Brewers are on a 5-game winning streak, while the Cardinals just ended one. The Brewers' offense is on a tear right now, leading the majors in runs scored per game during July. They are poised to take at least three games in the 4-game series at Busch. And the Brewers' rotation is just as formidable as the Cubs' rotation. The Cardinals are more vulnerable right now, but their offense is pretty hot, and Wainwright and Carpenter are both scheduled to return in August. Also, the Brewers and Cardinals will both be playing slightly easier schedules than the Cubs to finish the season. So it's very presumptuous to assume that the Cubs will make the playoffs, while the Angels are playing very well and are enjoying a cushy 9.5-game lead in their division.

Answer 3

Cubs are having a great year as they are over 15 games over .500 and their pitching rotation is kick*** with harden, dempster zambrano and lilly they haven't won the WS since 1908 so maybe 100 years is lucky for them.

and if soriano has a successful return, that'll be even better for the cubbies.
