I get the Cubs got off to a hot start but they have been pretty average since that payed out. The top four in the lineup are very good, maybe not as good as they were in April/May but good. Having said that, what else about that team inspires fear? Bullpen...no (even after the trades), rotation, no (not a playoff rotation in my mind). The rest of the offense is pretty meh. They are good, no doubt, but I'd rather face them than say a Marlins team that sneaks in during the first round.
