[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1474938, member: 26283"] It’s frustrating. Statistically the Cubs are clearly the best team in the Central. They’re 6th in runs/game in the League and are 4th in runs allowed/game. They have an above average offense and a good pitching staff in the aggregate. But their pitching staff, particularly their starters, falls apart on the road. It’s been that way all year. The Cardinals have a bad offense (13th) and a good pitching staff (2nd). They might be able to eke into the playoffs, but I can’t see them scoring anywhere near enough to do anything when they get there. The Brewers have a below average offense (8th) and a bad pitching staff held together with chicken wire and masking tape (13th). Frankly, Yelich and Hader are dragging that team to an above-.500 record practically by themselves - that should be a losing team. [/QUOTE]
