This post is one in a series about the 2016 MLB Playoffs and World Series.

Chicago will be heavy favorites against whichever NL opponent they face off against and currently enjoy the top World Series expectancy of 43%. In the battle to determine who will face the North Side juggernaut, the Los Angeles Dodgers staved off elimination with a win over the Washington Nationals.

The winner will face the Cubs in the NLCS, needing to win at least one game in Chicago to advance to the World Series. Which one will it be, and what will their chances be win the final result shakes out? Check back soon for these answers and more.
