So at 59-38, the Chicago Cubs are the first to that mark, having achieved a 6-3 record coming out of the All-Star Break in winning all their series since that point. With 65 games left, let’s say the Cubs win two of three from here on out…that’s another 44 wins or so, for a 103-59 record. If they only win, say, 5 of every 9, then that’s only 36 more wins, but 95 wins on the season. I think it’ll be something in between.
We turn our attention now to the most insufferable time of the year, when the Cubs play a handful of games against their South Side counterparts, the Chicago White Sox.
