I checked in on the relevant scores around the league this morning (worth doing? do you want to see that each morning?), and reiterated the Cubs’ unlikely shot at the NL Central, despite climbing to within 8.5 games. Unlikely does not equal impossible, of course – as of this morning, BP puts the Cubs’ division odds at 4.9% and FanGraphs has it at 4.4%. If the Cardinals go .500 the rest of the way, they’ll finish with 95 wins. To get to 96, the Cubs would have to go 38-19 over their final 57 games. Insert Jim Carrey-Lauren Holly picture.
