[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1632685, member: 26283"] The playoff projectors I’ve seen at BR, FG, etc. put the Cubs at about 15-20% to make the playoffs and under 10% to win the division, with those numbers basically being cut in half since the start of the season. There’s some hope for improvement here. The Cubs’ two most proven starting pitchers are posting ERAs over 2.5 runs higher than their career averages and the entire outfield and starting second baseman has an OPS+ at least 40% below their career averages. The Cubs have way more guys underperforming their career norms than outperforming their career norms, with the major example of the latter (Marsinick) just going on the IL. Regression to the mean should help the Cubs. The question is how far out of the playoffs will they be by the time the numbers start evening out? Can they right the ship in time to be buyers instead of sellers at the deadline? [/QUOTE]
