Here’s a look at the five MLB teams who have the best chance to win the World Series at the end of the 2016 season.

Come next Monday, 30 Major League Baseball teams will take the diamond with hopes of becoming the champions of the 2016 World Series. While there are a few teams that are already out of the running (Miami, Colorado, Oakland, to name a few), most teams have at least a slim chance of making it to the World Series.
