Quantifying Hope: Cubs Rocket to 42.6% Playoff Odds, Still Trail Brewers

The Cubs have been on quite a run and it’s improved their standings and odds dramatically, but they still aren’t leading the way when it comes to postseason odds. That may have something to do with a June meat grinder that sees them facing a slew of winning teams.

This is normally the part where I’d regale you with all kinds of details about the schedule or what the Cubs have done lately, but I’m on my way to the airport and don’t have time. Sorry, folks, the content gods don’t always demand big sacrifices.
