Here’s something that was helpfully pointed out to me in the hours before the Cubs opened the 2019 season:
So every season the Cubs have an opening day DH they win the World Series? Looks like the season ends on the day it begins.

So far... yes, that’s absolutely true. They had a DH on Opening Day in Anaheim in 2016, a 9-0 blowout of the Angels.
And so far... this season has started out the same way, with a blowout win over an A.
