Cubs have scored 10 or more runs in nearly 25% (10 of 42) of their 2nd half games

32 Upvotes

The breakdown of runs scored is: 10 runs 4×, 11 runs 2×, 12 runs once, 17 runs 2x, and 19 runs once. All such games have been wins, meaning the Cubs are only 14-18 (they are 24-18 since the break) when scoring less than double digits. They have scored 7-9 runs 7 times, going 5-2 in such games, and 4-6 runs 13 times going 6-7. Games with 0-3? The Cubs are 3-9 with all 3 wins coming with 3 runs.

We all know this is a team of extremes, particularly in the 2nd half, but even then the struggle to win consistently with solid run production (4-6 is solid) is concerning. With the rotations the Dodgers, Phillies, and Brewers can assemble you have to figure the likelihood of scoring 0-6 will be much greater than scoring 7+ (especially at the rate they are).

With all this said, the run production has been beyond impressive.

Mantle and Maris did it twice. Ivan Rodriguez and Rafael Palmeiro did it as well during the steroid era.

1st round lineup

16 Upvotes

With a healthy Swanson, the Cubs have an infield of all 1st round picks. With Happ in LF, PCA in CF, Shaw in RF, and Peterson starting, that’s 8 guys all drafted in the 1st round. Carson at catcher was just shy, getting drafted late in the 2nd.
