The 2016 World Series is a mismatch.

The much-beloved Chicago Cubs are just too good for the Cleveland Indians, and the series will be the sort of romp they should be able to celebrate in Wrigley Field, when this thing ends in Game 4 or (at most) 5.

It must be assumed that planning for the celebratory parade is near completion. Thinking Tuesday of next week.

The Cubs have better players at nearly every non-pitching position. Better hitters, better fielders, better people, better-looking people.

The Indians might have an advantage at second base, where Jason Kipnis might be a teeny bit better than Javier Baez … OK, and maybe in right field, unless Cubs manager Joe Maddon comes to his senses and sits Jason Heyward in favor of Jorge Soler — who would be better than Cleveland’s Lonnie Chisenhall.

The other Indians … Mike Napoli (he’s still playing?), Tyler Naquin, Jose Ramirez … who are they?

Pitching? A Cubs blowout. Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta and Kyle Hendricks are all better than Cleveland’s surviving competent starter, Corey Kluber, who the Cubbies will put to the sword by the fourth inning in Game 1 tomorrow night.

The Indians like to talk about their deep bullpen, so handy earlier in the playoffs against Boston and Toronto, but a bullpen will not be of much use when Bryant, Rizzo, Russell and the lads have put up four or five runs early.

It’s “Cubs win!” at manager. Terry Francona (Indians guy) has done some stuff (in Boston, maybe?), but he is not remotely as cool as Maddon, who wears funky glasses, uses big-brain words, radiates “hipster cool” and is a sabermetrics savant. Plus, Francona chews tobacco, which is so … yucky.

Cubs rule in the front office, too. Theo Epstein is the best there is. Took them from 101 defeats in 2012 to 103 victories this season. Had to look up the name of the Indians guy. Mike Chernoff. Heard of him? Me neither.

The Cubs have the better stadium, of course. Wrigley is one of the handful of stadiums every baseball fan should see. The Indians play in something called Progressive Field. Yes, cold and corporate. It was new and shiny two decades ago, when Drew Carey was a thing. Now, it’s usually half-empty.

And fans? Cubs by a mile.

Are any fans in the world more knowledgeable, more darling, more deserving than Cubs fans? They have been waiting so long! One hundred and eight years, actually, since the Cubs last won a World Series.

The cosmos owes Cubs fans. Thinking another half dozen championships over the next 20 years — after rolling to this one, of course.

Indians fans? They have a few. Their attendance this season was a bit under 1.6 million. The Cubs had that by the All-Star break, en route to 3.2 million. “Undeserving” is the word you want, to describe Indians fans.

Some people are all worried about how sad the Rust Belt is, pretty much with Cleveland in the center of it. The Indians haven’t won a World Series since 1948, but the Cubs trump that by 40 years, and the Indians fans, who also don’t dress as snappily, can wait another decade or two. Till some year when the Cubs are not in the other dugout.

Cubs, champions. Write it down. Plan on it. What could go wrong?
