Is it just me, or does this game feel a little one-sided? The Rockies are good and all, but pale in comparison to the Chicago Cubs. For one, Colorado is probably a bit lucky to be here. The Rox managed 91 wins during the regular season, but their pythagorean expected win-loss record was just 85-78. They finished a distant second in the NL West in third-order win percentage, barely ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks — and they would not have made the playoffs by that measure.
Looking further, the Cubs are also well ahead in most other categories.
