Regardless of their record, they are one of the top 15 teams in baseball.

OT: The Reds look a lot better according to that stat than their record would indicate.

Good stuff. Also noticed the D-Back numbers which confirms what I suspect just from the run differential. They are not that good and looking at the D1 etc they squeak by. Fun team to watch, though.

The Yankees have an easy schedule the rest of July and if they don't gain at least 5 games on the Red Sox they are doomed to an early exit and fishing by October.

Well, I suppose I should have clarified. The Chicago Cubs are one of the top 5 teams in baseball RIGHT NOW. Looking at their run differential, they aren't that far back overall, either.

I do believe they will win 95+ games. I am drunk, though.

Cubs have 73 games left.

17 of these games are against teams under .500
56 of these games are against teams over .500

43-30 gets them to 90 wins which should put them in good shape for the division or the wild card. Hopefully MLB wont get in the way of any trades...

Teams clearly better than the Cubs

Boston
Cleveland
Detroit
Los Angeles Angels
New York Mets

Teams arguably better

New York Yankees
Minnesota
Atlanta
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Diego

The Cubs are not "clearly" a top 5 team.

I don't know...the Cardinals looked like the best team today if you want to play fun with restricting sample sizes

what odds do you want on 95+ wins?

I'll give you 5 to 1
