The Cubs are on the precipice of being swept for the first time in a real series, which would be a huge bummer coming on the heels of winning three straight in Anaheim. With just five total runs scored in San Francisco so far, Craig Counsell‘s team has really just been doing what it’s done all month. We’re talking about MLB’s lowest-scoring offense in August despite playing at least one more game than any of the seven teams immediately above them.
Only the Cardinals have scored less in the second half, and they’re only one run behind the Cubs since the break.
