Picking baseball games is no way to go through life. You're wrong more often than you're right, and when you are right, you don't even get to brag about it, because the cause for the correct call often differs from your expectation.
Nonetheless, our panel of experts are brave (silly) enough to predict games all the same. Here are their picks (and explanations) for Wednesday night's Game 7:
CBS Sports predictions
| Game 7 | Winner | Score | Commentary |
| R.J. Anderson |  | 3-1 | Kluber-Miller-Allen shuts down the Cubs' lineup. |
| Mike Axisa | | 3-0 | The Klubot goes into terminator mode and shines even though he's starting for the third time in nine days. Miller and Allen do what they do in the late innings. Offensive hero: Jason Kipnis. |
| Jonah Keri |  | 3-2 | Javier Baez sheds the Pedro Cerrano label with a ninth-inning home run for the ages. |
| Dayn Perry | | 4-2 | Kluber is effective once again on short rest and Andrew Miller lifts a heavy load after Kluber exits in the sixth. Francisco Lindor hits a big two-out double. |
| Bill Reiter | | 4-3 | Kluber turns over a three-hit gem to Miller before the wheels come off in the most stunning eighth inning in Cubs -- and World Series -- history. Bill Murray spontaneously combusts on live television shortly thereafter. |
| Matt Snyder | | 7-2 | They get to Kluber early in Game 7 for three runs in three innings and then destiny takes over. |
A perfect split for Game 7 of the 2016 World Series -- the last meaningful baseball game of the season. Soak it in everyone -- here's hoping it's a memorable one.
