A 60-game season, if MLB can pull it off, is going to put together some odd results. This is because it’s only 37 percent of a “normal” season, and lots of teams can put together hot — or cold — streaks over 60 games. The most significant recent example of something along these lines is the 2019 World Series champion Nationals. Famously, they were 19-31 after 50 games, but after 60 weren’t much better — 27-33. Yet from that 60-game start they went 66-36, winning 93 games and eventually the WS.
Here’s a look at a number of Cubs 60-game streaks.
