Chicago Cubs: MLB insider reveals why fans have “no reason to be concerned” in latest MLB power rankings
Share your love
The Chicago Cubs did not end the weekend on a high note. After winning the first game of their series against the St. Louis Cardinals, they dropped the final two. The weekend began with such promise, with Chicago just three games out of first place in the National League Central Division. Because of their two consecutive losses, though, the Cubs are now five games out of first.
This all being said, Chicago is still 72-53 on the season. This is good enough for the top Wild Card spot in the National League, and is actually the fourth-best record in the NL.
The Chicago Cubs are fifth in MLB’s latest power rankings
Despite losing two games in a row to end the weekend, Chicago still has a comfortable lead in the Wild Card and sits just five games out of first place in the NL Central.
Monday’s edition of MLB’s power rankings certainly did not give fans any reason for worry, slotting the Cubs in at fifth:
“The Cubs had to be the supporting characters in the Joshua Báez show on Saturday, and they ended up losing on Sunday as well. But there’s no reason to be too concerned: It was the first time the Cubs had lost two games in a row since July 9-10.”
Saturday and Sunday were incredibly frustrating for Chicago, but they have the opportunity to bounce back in a big way with a three-game series against their cross-town rivals, the Chicago White Sox. This will be the first time the two teams face each other since their dramatic series at Wrigley Field earlier this year.
Unfortunately, that series is what started the Cubs’ 10-game losing streak. Hopefully they can avoid that again.
