The Chicago Cubs are on a season-high six game win streak. They haven’t lost back-to-back games yet this season and clearly that isn’t happening today. But it’s still just one game at a time, and when that next game is for a sweep of the Washington Nationals and you’ve got Jake Arrieta on the hill at home? You have to like your chances.
The Cubs (23-6) continue their torrid pace as they have a +101 run differential through 29 games. The tops after this many games last year? The Cardinals at +50.
