Well, that’s assuming the Cubs playing the same. I think the concern is the Cubs getting hot at the right (wrong) time, not necessarily playing at the same pace they have.
It’s not they couldn’t go 25-9 to finish the season. Sounds extreme, but as you said we just went 26-4.
In the same amount of time as there is between now and the end of the season, they’ve lost 8.5 games on us, just for perspective.
Winning today would go a long ways.
