Since July 17, the Cubs are 21-9, which is the second-best record in the National League over that span, just a game behind the Dodgers. THROUGH SUNDAY!!!
That includes a 12-5 record at Wrigley Field in that time frame. Attendance has risen, as you might expect.
Through that July 17 game, the Cubs had averaged 32,926 for 48 dates. The 17 games at Wrigley since then have averaged 38,671, a significant jump. That includes the largest crowd of the year, 40,869 for the second game against the White Sox. That crowd was thrilled by Christopher Morel’s walkoff home run.
