Over their last 15 games, the Chicago Cubs have epitomized streaky play. They ran off a five-game winning streak, lost five in a row and have now won five straight once more. But, all told, this team has been much stronger at home than on the road.
Entering Sunday’s finale against the White Sox, the Cubs are 13-6 at Wrigley Field – good for a .684 winning percentage. Only the Philadelphia Phillies have won more games at home so far this year in the National League. But away from the Friendly Confines, Chicago sits at 8-9 – hardly what you’d want from a team with World Series aspirations.
