Chicago Cubs get poor prognosis on standing in division by MLB analyst
A week ago, the Chicago Cubs were at the top of the National League Central Division. Now, they have lost four series in a row and sit 1.5 games out of first place. Their two 10-game win streaks earlier this season now seem like a distant memory. Losing two out of three to the Chicago White Sox and being swept at home by the Milwaukee Brewers have the team floundering.
Of course, it is only May and a lot can change between now and the end of the season. That being said, Chicago is not trending in the right direction and, unless something changes, they could see their fierce rivals take the division once again.
The Chicago Cubs must catch the Milwaukee Brewers again
Chicago has had the unfortunate luck in seeing multiple starting pitchers go down with injuries. For weeks now, many have wondered when the Cubs will finally make a move or two in an effort to boost their beleaguered rotation.
Until they do, MLB.com believes they will be stuck looking up at Milwaukee in the standings:
“The Cubs and the Brewers look like the class of this division, yet again. The issue with the Cubs has been their rotation, which has been absolutely ravaged by injuries and was hit with another one on Wednesday, when Edward Cabrera had to leave his start early with a blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand. The Cubs have the 19th-best starter ERA in the Majors, and some of that is boosted by pitchers no longer available…
“You don’t want to be a prisoner of the moment here, but that three-game sweep at Wrigley didn’t look like an outlier; it looked like the future of this division. Again.”
If the Cubs cannot get their pitching figured out, they are going to have their hands full retaking the NL Central from the Brewers, who have won it in each of the past three years.
Chicago also needs to see their multiple offensive stars break out of their slumps. Indeed, when they are clicking offensively, they are among the best teams in baseball.
But, right now, they look like the exact opposite.
