The Cubs have dropped two of their first three games on this brief homestand and they could really use a W this afternoon against the Royals. Scoring more than four runs will help, as they are 2-6 over the last eight games in which they don’t reach five tallies. That has come over a stretch of 12 total games, and do you want to guess what their record is in those other four?
If you said 4-0, you win a prize.
Playing .500 ball moving forward probably isn’t going to be enough when they have three games to make up, so stacking up wins before the Brewers come to town to close the month is imperative.
