The Cubs and Cardinals have split the first four games of this “five-game series,” and yet, it doesn’t quite feel that way.
In fact, it sort of feels like we’re on the edge of a sweep.
And if the Cubs do win tonight's game, you actually feel quite good about the outcome – winning 3 out of 5 when they were all crammed into three days. Just seems like a perfectly positive outcome.
BUT LOSING THREE OF FIVE WOULD BE DEATH. https://t.co/4DtPb45zEL

Let’s hope Adbert Alzolay and the rest of the Chicago Cubs give themselves something positive to think about during tomorrow’s much-needed off-day. Oh, and remember, the Cubs are the away team in this one.
