The Chicago Cubs aren't dead yet. The NL champs have forced a Game 6 against the Cleveland Indians in the 2016 World Series, and they are hoping to become one of the few teams to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the Fall Classic.

It hasn't been done since 1985 when the Kansas City Royals won three straight games to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals. Three other teams have accomplished the feat, and the Cubs can force a deciding Game 7 with a victory in Cleveland on Tuesday.

The Indians are at home, but they find themselves as underdogs in their return to Progressive Field. Cleveland has +132 betting odds at Las Vegas sportsbooks, while Chicago is a -142 favorite. Even though the Cubs have been outplayed in the series, their edge in the starting pitching matchup means there's a good chance the World Series will feature a Game 7 for the second time in three years.

Chicago sends Jake Arrieta, last year's Cy Young award winner, to the mound. The right-hander hasn't been nearly as dominant as he was in 2015, but he still ranks among the best starters in MLB. He picked up the victory in Game 2, allowing one run and two hits over 5.2 innings in Cleveland.
