Well, the Cubs haven’t been on some terrible losing streak or anything, but I’ve gotta say: the two series losses to the Reds in quick order are not making me feel great (not to mention the Kris Bryant/Jason Heyward scare yesterday and Jon Lester just feeling a bit off lately). I would really love a strong, definitive, series win against the Astros. Is that really too much to ask? Please?
Note: Today, the Cubs are playing without Kris Bryant, Jason Heyward, and Ben Zobrist, while the Astros are playing without Carlos Correa, Jose Altuve, George Springer, and Aledmys Diaz.
