Good morning, Chicago. The National League Central-leading Brewers are coming to town for a five-game set against the Cubs, starting with a doubleheader on Monday at Wrigley Field. Here’s
the math: - A Cubs sweep puts them three games out of first place
- A Brewers sweep means the Cubs would be 13 games back with
34 games left in the season
Logic would say that the results would fall in the middle and the Cubs would be somewhere between 5-10 games back. But this season, logic is not
a part of the equation. Whatever happens, the Cubs know they will be in a battle against a team that won 14 of its last 15 games and had a 14-game win streak snapped in Cincinnati on Sunday.
