The Chicago Cubs are in town. And they’re solid. Good enough to currently be in line for one of two wild-card playoff spots in the National League.
“They’ve got a good club,” Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said before his team took on the Cubs on Friday night. “Obviously, kind of a young team on the run and on the rise. They’ve been playing good. They can give you problems in a lot of different ways. They’ve got some speed, they’ve got power, they mix and match their lefties and righties, pitching’s been good. They’re just a good team.
