2016 World Series Prediction

Cleveland Indians Vs Chicago Cubs

I’ve pretty much spent this entire season doubting the Cleveland Indians because I figured they were just a fraudulent team on a lucky streak and it was going to end at some point! But somehow, some way this team keeps on winning and I think they have what it takes to win it all. The Cubs have also been dominant throughout the entire season and into the playoffs, and have been the favorites to win it all since Spring Training, so it’s really no shock to see the Cubs in this position. Overall this should be a good matchup because both of these teams come in with the best pitching in the league. I expect to see some pitchers duel’s in this series, with starting pitching going deep into a game and the bull pen can step in when necessary. The Cubs have a better batting lineup, but that really doesn’t matter if you’re pitching and defense can prevent them from scoring, which is something that has consistently happened to the Cubs in the post season. I believe the edge in this matchup will be the Managers. Joe Maddon (Cubs) and Terry Francona (Indians) are exceptional managers and have taken two separate teams each to the World Series, but Francona knows how to win! He knows how to keep his players motivated when down and out, he knows how to make the tough decisions when under pressure, and he always maintains composure. Joe Maddon can do all of those same things as well, but Francona has the rings to prove it and I think that will be huge in this matchup! I’m done doubting the Indians and when it all comes down to it, I love to watch the Cubs lose! Sorry I’m an asshole always and forever!
