Playing in the NL Central, the Chicago Cubs have a clear path to the division title.
It's almost as if the division opponents are "laying down" in order to let the Cubs have a better shot at the franchise's first World Series title in more than a century.
Just look how the Cubs are mowing down each of the division foes ...
VS. CINCINNATI ... Cubs have 6-1 record, outscoring the Reds 60-20
VS. PITTSBURGH ... Cubs have won all five games, ALL OF THEM BY 5 OR MORE RUNS, outscoring the Pirates 37-11
VS. MILWAUKEE ... Cubs are 2-0 vs. the Brewers, outscoring them 11-5
VS. ST. LOUIS ... Cubs are 2-1 vs. the Cardinals, outscoring them 10-6.
That's a 15-2 record, while outscoring the "pushover deluxe" division opponents 118-42.
