The graph below of the Cubs’ postseason odds looks like a child’s rendering of the Tetons, except there’s no way in hell anyone would want to stick it on their refrigerator. That might be fitting, though, since the Cubs have gone cold over the last month outside of sweeping a pair of NL West opponents. The problem is that they were also swept in the course of losing seven of eight to another team in that division while managing to drop two in Colorado.
Now all that’s left is a series in Milwaukee and the hope that the Marlins fall flat in Pittsburgh before possibly having to finish the final inning of Thursday’s rain-out in New York.
