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 | -900 (99%) |
| 🏆 Cubs World Series Odds | +1300 (7.14%) |
| 🚩 Cubs National League Pennant Odds | +600 (14.3%) |

| 🔥 Cubs Regular Season Wins | Over/Under 93.5 |

I always suggest comparing odds across multiple betting sites before placing any bet, but particularly with futures markets like the ones listed above. These markets tend to have much higher odds variances than wagers like moneylines and totals. For example, DraftKings has a better price on the Cubs' NLCS odds at +650.
What are the Cubs Odds to Make the Playoffs?
Currently, the Cubs playoff odds are -900 according to DraftKings. Converted to an implied probability, this means the Cubs' chances to make the playoffs are 90%.
Are the Cubs in the Playoffs?
The Cubs have not yet locked up a playoff spot, as we're too early in the regular season. Teams won't start punching their ticket for another few months, but as long as the Cubs continue playing how they have been to start the season, they will be in a good spot.
What Are the Cubs' Odds to Win the National League?
The best odds for the Cubs to win the National League are +600 on multiple books, including BetMGM Illinois. Chicago is well behind the Dodgers at +146 (DraftKings), but the Cubs currently have the fourth-best odds to win the NL.
What Are the Cubs' Odds to Win the NL Central?
The Cubs' NL Central odds are -210 or shorter across the board. Chicago is currently a heavy betting favorite to win the division, as the Brewers are the next closest team at +200.
What Are the Cubs' World Series Odds?
The Cubs' odds to win the 2025 World Series are +1300 or shorter at all sportsbooks such as Fanatics Sportsbook Illinois. Currently, this puts Chicago among the top 8 teams with the shortest World Series odds.
Chicago Cubs Standings 2025
When it comes to the MLB postseason, only two sets of standings truly matter: division and wild card. I'll track the Cubs' standings all year long as we approach the playoffs.
Cubs NL Central Standings
| Team | Record | W/L Percentage | Games Behind |
| ⭐ Cubs | 54-38 | .587 | - |
| Brewers | 53-40 | .570 | 1.5 |
| Cardinals | 49-44 | .527 | 5.5 |
| Reds | 47-46 | .505 | 7.5 |
| Pirates | 38-56 | .404 | 17 |
The Cubs are maintaining their lead over the Brewers in the NL Central. Now, they will start a six-game American League road trip that starts with the Minnesota Twins and concludes this weekend in the Bronx against the New York Yankees.
National League Wild Card Standings
| Team | Record | Games Behind |
| Mets | 53-39 | +3 |
| Brewers | 53-40 | +2.5 |
| Giants | 51-43 | - |
| Padres | 49-43 | 1 |
| Cardinals | 49-44 | -1.5 |
If the Cubs can maintain control of the NL Central, they won't have to worry about the NL Wild Card standings.

Chicago Cubs Odds FAQs
Sports fans who are 21+ can bet on the Cubs in Illinois using any of the 10 legal betting apps or in person at several retail sportsbooks across the state. In fact, if you find yourself at Wrigley and want to get in on the action, you'll find a DraftKings retail sportsbook next to the stadium.
Yes, not only can the Cubs make the playoffs this season, but according to betting odds, they are favored to do so. The Cubs playoff odds are -900 on DraftKings, giving them a 90% chance to make the postseason for the first time since 2020.
According to DraftKings, the Cubs World Series odds are +1300, giving them the seventh-best odds to win the World Series. They are currently trailing other NL contenders like the Dodgers, Mets, and Phillies for best odds in the league.
Currently, the Cubs' chances of making the playoffs are 93.3% according to the latest odds from DraftKings (-1400). This implies that oddsmakers believe they are in good standing right now and will likely make the playoffs barring a collapse.
No, the Cubs are not eliminated from the playoffs as it's too early in the season for teams to be nixed from postseason contention. If the Cubs can keep up their play from the first half of the season, they'll be well-positioned to make their first playoff appearance since 2020.
For the division, the Cubs currently hold a 1 1/2-game lead over Milwaukee. Looking at the NL as a whole, the Cubs are trailing the Phillies, Mets, and Dodgers, so there is a lot of work to do if they want to improve their status.
The last time the Cubs won the World Series was in 2016, giving them their first World Series win since 1908. This is also the last time they made it to the World Series, as the Cubs have not done much since that magical season.
The Cubs have made the playoffs 21 times in franchise history, with their last appearance coming in 2020 when they lost to the Miami Marlins in the Wild Card round. They hope to make it 22 this season, as they currently lead the NL Central.
