The Iowa Cubs are still under .500 with a record of 9-11, but they have a two game winning streak are sitting in third place. Omaha leads Iowa by four games, and Oklahoma City is over the Cubs by two and a half. This week, though, the Cubs could rearrange those standings dramatically. They play a doubleheader with Colorado Springs today, then head to Nashville for four before traveling to first place Omaha. Nashville is just 4-8 at home, so the Cubs have a chance to pack on a few wins.
Tennessee is a game over .500, but two and a half games out of first place. They are currently in third place. Games today and tomorrow wrap up their series in Biloxi, and then they return home for five against Mississippi. They have an off day on Tuesday; that is their last off day until May 24.
The second place Pelicans are right at .500 (11-11) despite losing their last two games. They trail a loaded Salem team by three and a half. The Pelicans have one more with Salem (today), and then head north to face Winston-Salem and Wilmington.[adinserter block=”1″]
Despite playing excellent baseball lately, the South Bend Cubs are also only in second place with a 13-9 record. Lake County leads division by two games over the Cubs and Lansing.

The wrap up a series in Cedar Rapids today, then come back to Indiana to face Wisconsin and Beloit. After that the schedule gets rough; after May 7, the Cubs do not return home until May 24.
