Chicago Cubs look to exceed initial Vegas win projections

The Cubs are likely losing Pedro Strop, Nick Castellanos and maybe even Willson Contreras or Kris Bryant due to trade. This is a team that won just 84 games last year and it’s hard to see them improving on that win total given the losses they’ve suffered this offseason.

Jon Lester is another year older and Cole Hamels left town, signing a one-year deal with the Atlanta Braves. The Cincinnati Reds have gotten better and are still looking to add and the Brewers and Cardinals are still right there, but they also had some pretty glaring subtractions from their rosters.
