The Cubs continue to maintain the best record in baseball. However, the Brewers who are now 26.5 games behind Chicago, won three out of four games in a series against the Cubs last week.
The week prior, the Cubs were able to win two games of a three game series against the Cardinals. Did they exasperate too much energy in the series against the Cards, who are still 16.5 games back, to beat a team that is ranked fourth in the NL Central?
It’s baffling to think that the Brewers, who aren’t even projected to make it to the postseason, beat the Cubs at all.
