At 24-20, the Chicago Cubs are squarely in the playoff race this season. They do trail the St. Louis Cardinals by 4.5 games in the National League Central, but the Cubs are right in the mix for the two NL Wild Card spots. Led by their incredible young core of players, the Cubs are a very dangerous team this season, and especially going forward.
As talented as this roster is, the Cubs do have some holes that need addressed if they are to make some serious noise this season. For starters, the bullpen has been shaky all year long.
