Since I know you’ve all long since given up on the idea that MLB will have any sort of “normal” season in 2020, if they have one at all, I’m not going to bore you with any explanations of it. But because you’re almost assuredly a Cubs fan if you’re reading this, I’ll direct your attention to the notion that the Cubs’ chances of making the playoffs are higher the more games are played.
That’s operating under the assumption that ZiPS’ computer projections are correct about David Ross having the best team in the NL Central on paper.
