The Cubs are back home after taking five of six from the White Sox and Cardinals, but now they’ve got a tough test that will go a long way toward determining the fate of the division. Their third four-game series in two weeks is against the first-place Reds, who just took two of three from the Dodgers in Los Angeles to leapfrog the Brewers. With a four-game gap between these two teams heading into Monday night, the Central could get very interesting.
Marcus Stroman is going to have to figure some things out in order for the Cubs to get started on the right foot because he’s been nothing short of terrible since the trip to London.
