The Cubs have won three in a row and seven of their last 10, but their playoff odds have pretty much flatlined as they may need to be even better just to grab a Wild Card spot. That’s because the Braves, who lost last night in Philly, remain five games up with 28 to play. Even if the Braves finish just 15-13 over their remaining games, the Cubs would have to go 21-7 to surpass them. I mean, sure.
Though it’s difficult to make out in the chart below, the Cubs have been under 4% postseason odds for nearly two weeks now.
