Do you, and the rest of the cubs fans here realty believe this team in the current landscape can win 4 out of 7 against either of the other division leaders in the national league? Let alone the Yankees, astros, or even the twins?
I mean I wanna believe they can, but there is no way I can envision a scenario where this team is competing for anything more than first in the mlb version of the big 10 west.
We won 3 out of 7 against the Dodgers this year with 4 played in LA and 3 in Chicago. 4 of those 7 games were 1 run games with each team 2-2 in those games. So do I really believe they can win in current landscape, absolutely. This team has the talent to win, and if they get hot at the right time, they can definitely beat anyone in a series. Now would I put money on it, absolutely not. The Cubs are not the best team in baseball this year, but they have the talent to win if they hit a hot streak at the right time.
