Now that the Cubs have dispatched of the Dodgers and won their first National League pennant since 1945, we have our World Series and it's a beauty. The Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians will take the two longest World Series championship droughts into the World Series and go head-to-head for the crown.

In the next two days, we'll have plenty of preview items leading up to the Fall Classic. For now, let's check out the SportsLine projections on the World Series.

In computer simulations, here's who won:

Team Win WS
Chicago Cubs 59.4%
Cleveland Indians 40.6%
The Vegas odds:
Team Win WS
Chicago Cubs -175
Cleveland Indians +155

So the Cubs are expected to win, but also don't get great value due to being the overwhelming favorite.

The World Series starts Tuesday in Cleveland's Progressive Field.
