The Chicago Cubs are on a stretch of games where they are playing several losing teams. Going back to the last series before the All Star break, the Cubs have played 11 of 20 games against teams who are currently under .500 and have a record of 5-6. That is unacceptable in my mind, and they should be able to rack up the wins against the “cupcakes” in baseball.
Unfortunately, they have not been able to win games, despite getting some pretty good pitching from their starters. The bullpen has blown a couple of games while trying to protect one run leads of low scoring games.
