Latest Cubs Odds: Playoffs, World Series, & More
Here's a quick glance at the latest Cubs odds across several futures markets from bet365 Illinois. Next to each set of odds is the implied probability of that market.
| ⭐ Cubs Playoff Odds | -180 (64.3%) |
| 🏆 Cubs World Series Odds | +2000 (4.8%) |

| 🥇 Cubs NL Central Odds | -150 (60.0%) |

I always suggest comparing odds across multiple betting sites before placing any bet, but particularly with futures markets like the ones shown above. These markets tend to have much higher odds differences than wagers like moneylines and totals. BetMGM Illinois, for example, has a better price on the Cubs World Series odds at +2500.
What are the Cubs Odds to Make the Playoffs?
Currently, the Cubs playoff odds are -165 according to DraftKings. Converted to an implied probability, this means the Cubs' playoff chances are 62.3%. This gives the Cubs the fifth-shortest playoff odds across the entire NL. Compared to their division, the Brewers are the next closest team at +190.
What are the Cubs Odds to Win the National League?
The best odds for the Cubs to win the National League are +1200 on multiple sites such as Caesars Sportsbook Illinois. Chicago is well behind the Dodgers at +125, but at +1200 this gives the Cubs the fifth-shortest NL odds.

The Cubs' NL Central odds are -125 or shorter across the board. Chicago is currently the betting favorite to win the division, with these odds having dropped from +115 just a few weeks ago.
What are the Cubs World Series Odds?
The Cubs' odds to win the 2025 World Series are +2200 across multiple sportsbooks such as Fanatics Sportsbook Illinois. At the start of the season, this puts Chicago in the middle of the pack across the MLB.
