The Cubs opened the season with six road games and they alternated wins and losses for a 3-3 start to the season. Certainly, a split on the road is a decent start to the season. A couple of the losses were close games and so the opening trip certainly didn’t register as a disappointment. The Cubs would come home for a 10 game homestand. Surely, this would provide a good litmus test for what this team might be.
With 10 games to look at this time around, buckle up for a long one.
