Despite their sub-par first half of the season, Vegas hasn't lost faith in the Cubs.
According to Bovada, the Cubs have an 8-to-1 odds to win the World Series this year, along with their 2016 opponent, the Cleveland Indians.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are favored at 7-to-2, followed by the Houston Astros (17-to-4), Boston Red Sox (6-to-1), and Washington Nationals (7-to-1).
At the All-Star break, the Cubs (43-45) are 5.5 games back of the division leading Milwaukee Brewers (50-41). Of the Cubs' 74 remaining games of the regular season, 71 percent of them are against opponents which are currently below .500.
The Cubs will also be well-rested with Wade Davis having been the only North Sider to participate in the All-Star festivities in Miami.
So will the Cubs finally turn it around in the second half of the season?
