Cubs' Updated Odds for 2024 World Series, NL Central After Cody Bellinger's Contract

The Chicago Cubs are the betting favorites to win the National League Central after agreeing to a deal to secure the return of Silver Slugger winner Cody Bellinger.

ESPN's Jeff Passan reported Bellinger will sign for $80 million over three years with opt-outs after each of the first two years.

Chicago is now +180 at DraftKings Sportsbook to claim the division, narrowly edging out the St. Louis Cardinals (+185). The Cubs also have the fourth-best odds of winning the NL pennant (+1400) and are +2500 to go all the way and lift a World Series title.
