5/5 Other Games

[98navigator]

LOL, I think they are actually. They can't be a serious contender for the division with that pathetic excuse for a bullpen.

 

This thing is quickly becoming a two team race.

 

Really, the Cubs need to keep playing well, or it will quickly become a 1-team race.

 

The Brewers need to do the same; They don't have a big lead on the Cubs.

 

They have a 5 game lead on the Cubs, and a 6-7 game lead on the rest of the division. It's not like there's a clear separation right now between the Cubs and the rest. There is, however, a clear separation between Milwaukee and the Cubs.

 

I edited my original post to explain my position... They don't really have a 5 game lead on the Cubs.

 

The Cubs are 14-14 (28 games) and the Brewers are 20-10 (30 games). That's why the Cubs are only 4 back in the loss column with 2 games yet to be decided (which makes it possible for the real lead to be as small as 2 games).

 

The Cardinals have played 28 games as well but they are 7 back in the loss column (11-17). HOU and PIT have both played 29 games with identical 13-16 records. However, the Reds are the only other team in the division to play 30 games (13-17) so they are a legitimate 7 games behind the Brewers.

 

The Brewers will lose games. As long as the Cubs take care of their own business they will be fine.
