I know it’s hard to believe, but Major League Baseball is closing in on the first quarter of the season. The Cubs have played 37 games to the tune of an 18-19 record. Their .486 win percentage would translate to somewhere between 78 or 79 wins over the course of the full season. That win total would be precisely in line with FanGraphs’ preseason ZiPS projections, and would exceed Baseball Prospectus’ PECOTA preseason projections by a handful of games. So with a day off before the Cubs embark on a nine-game road trip now seemed like a good time to check in on the 2023 Cubs.
Do the 2023 Cubs have more than a .500 win percentage in their future?
