Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, August 4 edition

I know that some Cubs fans are panicking over the team’s two-game deficit in the NL Central and the Brewers appearing to just not lose... at all.

Since the beginning of June, the Brewers are 36-16. That’s... just not sustainable, not over a time much longer than that. Even the 103-win 2016 Cubs didn’t have streaks quite that good. I point you to the Miami Marlins, who are 32-22 in that same span. That’s just... not sustainable.

The Cubs are 29-24 since June 1. That’s an 89-win pace, which obviously wouldn’t be good enough to win the division title.
