It's unexpected that Chicago is the favorite to win this game. They do not have the upper hand in the beginning pitching battle, and their bullpen is a complete mess while the Mariners' bullpen is pitching well. The pitching staffs will decide this game, and the Mariners have the advantage because the offenses are fairly equal in terms of production. They've had a lot of success playing against the Cubs in the past, but only as a reliever. Seattle has a greater advantage because of the element of surprise.
