Gonna be a quick one today, as there’s not a whole lot to cover in terms of division or playoff odds. Let’s get to it, then, shall we?
- Cubs division lead (15.5 games) is larger than their magic number (15)
- My projected clinch date is 9/15, just after Cubs play in STL
- 39 games over for first time since 1945 (98-56)
- 15.5 game lead is largest since 1907 (17 games over Pittsburgh)
- Cubs on pace for 105 wins
- Cubs have scored in 1st inning of past 6 home games (14 runs)
- Addison Russell on pace for 107 RBI
- Kris Bryant on pace for 112 RBI
- Anthony Rizzo on pace for 115 RBI
- Bryant slashing .
