I won’t lie, I hate the west coast trips. They are my least favorite time of the season, and that has absolutely nothing to do with the teams the Chicago Cubs face. The games start way to late for me to fully enjoy them, especially during the week when you have to wake up at 4:30 every morning. Thankfully, only two of the six games fall into that category.
The Cubs are in the catbird seat though as they head in to San Fransisco to face the Giants, and then to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers. Currently the Cubs have a commanding lead for that second Wild Card as they lead the Giants by six games.
