After two sweeps, one of which was against the Cardinals, the Cubs are in a relatively good position in the NL Central. They started the homestand off pretty poorly, getting swept by the Brewers when they had an opportunity to further solidify their lead. Fortunately, the Cubs won the next six games to maintain their lead in the division.
Now they head to sunny Florida, where Joe Maddon was able to get the Rays to their first postseason and World Series appearance. He enjoyed much success in an organization that had traditionally been one everybody beat up on.
