The Chicago Cubs have been tabbed as the odds-on World Series favorites, per the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.

To understand the odds, you would have to bet $175 to win $100 if the Cubs stop their 108-year drought. On the other side, a wager of $100 would give you a profit of $155 if Cleveland is able to win its first World Series since 1948.

In case anyone was wondering on the odds on this match-up before the season:
