Thursday is the Cubs penultimate off day of the regular season. And based on the last two games in Milwaukee, the entire team could use a breather. Even with dropping two in a row and becoming the final team to reach 50 losses on the season, the Cubs are 36-15 in the second half and have a 15 ½ game lead in the NL Central. The Cubs are seven games better than the Nationals for the best record in the National League.
The Cubs nine-game road trip continues Friday night in Houston.
