We’ve seen this story before. A sputtering offense filled with talented players all seeming to be pressing at the same time. This has been the case for much of the 2018 season. Up and down the Chicago Cubs lineup, you find inconsistencies. Yet the team always seems to rebound.
The 2018 season has been far from ideal. Between injuries and prolonged offensive slumps, it’s a miracle that this club still sits atop the division with just five games remaining in the regular season. Not only do the Cubs own first place by a half game over the Milwaukee Brewers, but their 91-66 record remains the best in the National League.
