Well, the Chicago Cubs still haven't won a World Series game since 1945. The Cleveland Indians combined for 15 strikeouts in a 6-0 victory in Game 1, although it was a much better game than the final score indicates.
1. Corey Kluber was great, in case you needed a reminder. A lot of fans don't watch much baseball aside from their own team until the postseason. There's a good chance that many Cubs fans had never seen Kluber pitch before, unless they happened to remember that one game from August of 2015 he pitched against the Cubs.
