Mets took us out of comfort yesterday afternoon. Let’s cling to a 3-2 lead in the top of the 7th and flip a coin to see if the pen can hold the lead. I pick Heads.
Where does our starting pitching rank? I know our record going in to today is 11-9 in games our staff allowed 3 runs or less. Rest of the league is winning at a .890 clip in those types of games.
Cubs are only 11-9 since may in games the rotation allowed 3 runs or less.
The cumulative record for all 30 team’s allowed 3 or fewer runs are 450-62.
If they could score at a league average pace in these games they’d be 41-30.
