Yeah, I doubt the Cubs are going to "mail it in" during a 4 game losing streak (whatever that means). "... can't lose ground, magic number still went down 1, still 30 over, etc etc.". It means the Cubs could go into the game thinking "If we win, great. If not, nothing hurts.". Instead of going in thinking "Ok, Brewers got swept. Time to end this losing streak, and really ratchet it up & work on killing Milwaukee's hopes for winning the division. Win tonight to get the lead back to 5.5 games and then get back to work on that much-improved road record after a day off."
