Speaking of surprising stat,

The Cubs bullpen allowed the 5th fewest runs in the 2nd half.  The fWAR is the 5th worst.

How does that work? 

[squally1313]

How will this team ever overcome mediocre pitching against elite pitchers

Luck (BABIP, sequencing) and defense 

[BKHoo]

If they are limiting his pitches that much, this might be his last inning?

Irritates me to to end how some of their mediocre players excel against the Cubs.

Does the runs allowed include inherited runners scoring?

Yeah, with a few exceptions, just a bunch of oompa loompas. Friedl, Steer, etc.

The Reds  always seem to rise up to the occasion against the Cubs.

Aren’t the Cubs like 7-3 against the Reds this year or something?

And 19-23 against since 2023, despite 25+ games better than them in the regular season.
