The Chicago Cubs 2026 season preview is here on Dad’s Bet Baseball, and the guys break down one of the most intriguing contenders in the National League. Hosts Adam and CJ are joined by Ben Heisler to analyze the Cubs’ roster changes, betting markets, and whether Chicago has what it takes to make a deep playoff run this season.

In this episode, the fellas dive into what makes the Cubs such an interesting betting team this year. The lineup remains one of the deepest in the National League, featuring hitters like Seiya Suzuki, Nico Hoerner, Dansby Swanson, Michael Busch, and Pete Crow-Armstrong. 

From a betting perspective, the guys highlight several angles worth watching throughout the season. Player prop markets for hitters like Ian Happ, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and Nico Hoerner could provide value, while Cabrera is discussed as a potential longshot in pitching futures if he can limit his walks and pitch deeper into games. The Cubs’ offensive depth also makes them an intriguing team for futures markets like NL pennant and World Series bets if they start the season strong.
