Sara Sanchez is a baseball analyst who divides her time between her love of the Cubs and fantasy baseball. She's powered by nitro cold brew, rosé, and the vibes in the left field bleachers at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs continue to set the pace in the NL Central, but a red hot Cardinals team is right on their heels, just one game back. The difference is pretty clear in both team’s last 10-game record. The Cubs went just 4-6 over their last 10 games while the Cardinals were 9-1 over the same stretch.
That tightening division race is likely one of the reasons the Cubs decided to call up one of their hottest hitting prospects, Moisés Ballesteros, earlier this week when leftfielder Ian Happ landed on the injured list with an oblique strain.
