We’re into month three of what’s shaping up to be the best Chicago Cubs team in decades. But will the pace continue? And can they break the all-time record of 116 wins shared by the 1906 Cubs and 2001 Seattle Mariners? It’s that question and a few others we examine as the Cubs embark on a nine-game road trip through the NL East.

At 39-16, the Cubs actually fell below the 116 win pace after Sunday’s loss to Arizona but for all practical purposes their .709 winning percentage puts them in striking distance of the record.
