Cubs-themed World Series could set wagering records
By Matt Youmans, Las Vegas Review-Journal
For star power and fascinating storylines, it’s tough to top the Chicago Cubs. A team of future superstars — starting with Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo — leading a popular franchise with more than a century of suffering in its past is more than enough to make this October unforgettable.
In case anyone has forgotten, the Cleveland Indians are a part of the story, too, and they add another element of intrigue.
When the numbers are totaled, this might be the most-wagered World Series in history.
