The Cubs finished June with a disappointing 13-13 record, which should tell you just about everything you need to know about this team. The fact that going .500 for a month that featured quite a few very tough pitching matchups and just one scheduled day off between what would have been a pair of 13-game stretches (one got rained out) feels like falling short means the Cubs are pretty good. Now they have 12 games to go before the break.
First up is a Guardians squad that sits two games under and 11.5 games out of first in a division currently owned by the Tigers.
