The Cubs got swept in Cleveland since the last update in this series, and could have somewhat made up for that had they swept the Blue Jays at home.
But they didn’t, and so wound up with a 2-4 week. The Cubs have 37 games remaining and they did win two of three from Toronto. They’ll pretty much have to do that the rest of the way to have any chance at the postseason. Doing that would give them a 25-12 or 24-13 record the rest of the way or, put another way, 85 or 86 wins. Fewer than that likely won’t do it.
