this is kind of silly. the cubs are going to be favored in every game short of maybe a hammel vs kershaw type matchup where a good team has a great starter going against one of our lesser ones, but they can potentially lose literally any game, and it wouldn't be unlikely enough to be considered at all shocking. this is baseball. You act like I was speaking in absolute fact. I posted that knowing full well that the Cubs could lose any game on any given day. The point is and was, the Cubs just haven't lost with any consistency against anyone, and especially against anyone that isn't a really good pitcher who has a really good game against them. And the paragraph you didn't include in your quote, included me saying that the Cubs have a good chance of winning (because they don't see any really good pitchers that seem capable of really good games) unless their own starter implodes. i realize that. i just think it's a silly thing to talk about when it's baseball.
