The Cubs have won 8 in a row and 14 of 15 and now find themselves 18 games over .500 and in possession of both the 4th best record in baseball and the second Wild Card spot. Hold on, that can’t be right. The Cubs are 18 games over? They have a better record than the Yankees, Blue Jays, Dodgers, and Nationals? They’d be leading 4 other divisions? I’ve gotta go look at that again.
Wow, yep, the math all checks out. Even if the Cubs maintain a dead-even record through the rest of the season, they’ll finish with 90 wins.
