At the park. Warm and sunny. Wind was blowing in when I got here around 10 but it's a calm wind and seems to be shifting right to left. Shouldn't be much of an issue. Javy gets a start today and Soler gets the cleanup spot. I like our chances to not get limited to 3 or less by Bergman. Just locked in:
Cubs TT Over 4 -121 risking $363 to win $300

- After another blowout win last night, the Chicago Cubs have scored 105 runs on the season, by far the most in baseball. The Cardinals come in second at 92 runs, albeit in one fewer game than the Cubs. Even more incredibly, the 38 runs the Cubs have allowed this year are the fewest in baseball, and that’s despite playing in one more game thus far than many other teams. Let me state that again clearly so that the impact is not lost on you: this Cubs team has scored THE MOST RUNS in baseball, and SIMULTANEOUSLY ALLOWED THE FEWEST RUNS in baseball. It might not last all year, but holy wonkers.
- Indeed, so strong is the Cubs’ performance thus far that their 13-4 record actually undersellstheir performance(!). Their Pythagorean record (a way of determining what a team’s record should be based on runs scored and allowed) is actually 15-2! Their second and third order records at BP (another way of trying to strip out random flukes by looking more at underlying player performance) is also 15-2! Their Base Runs record at FanGraphs (again, stripping away luck) is 14-3! The Cubs are 13-4 so far and they’ve been statistically unlucky to have that record!
Saw his postgame interview in his sleeveless. He looked in great shape, especially for a pitcher.
