The Cubs have the best offense in baseball, and by a large margin, too. It’s actually arguably the best in team history, and this is a team with a lot of history. The Cubs have the best defense in baseball too, by another large margin. That undersells it; they’re going to be the best on record since Statcast began tracking a decade ago. While it’s hard to compare defenses across the eras, they’re at least in the conversation of the best you’ve ever seen. Great hitting. Historically good defens...

Following a three-game sweep by the Brewers, the Chicago Cubs trail Milwaukee by 10 games in the NL Central. Luckily, they sit with a 2.5-game lead in the NL wild card standings, and if all goes well, they should be playing October baseball. However, the Cubs have a major issue.

The Chicago Cubs are close to clinching a postseason berth, but that does not mean the road ahead is easy.
Consider this your PCA PSA: It's time to start watching him, because if you haven't been tuning in, you've been missing out.
As you know, the Cubs hold the tiebreaker over the three teams closest to them in the Wild Card race, the Phillies, Diamondbacks and Padres.

The Brewers made quick work of the Cubs to complete a sweep on Wednesday night.
