Just eight games between days off this time around and so we get a quick check in. After 130 games, the Cubs were 69-61. They’d just dropped three straight to the Nationals and things were not looking great. But, a sweep of the Mets in New York, followed by dropping two out of three to the Brewers and then a two-game mini-sweep of the Mariners lead to an odd 6-2 stretch.
I included a poll in that last overview piece. Five of you were too optimistic (predicting the Cubs would win seven or more).
