Last time out, we covered a bit of an unusual homestand for the Cubs. They lost two of three to start the homestand against a subpar Brewers team. But then, just when things were starting to look down in a very close division race, the Cubs bounced back and took four of five from the then second place Cardinals. That moved the Cubs past the Cardinals and into second place.
The Cardinals went on to a 13-13 record in September which isn’t all that bad in its totality. But the killer for the Cards was that after starting the month eight games over .
