Why This Playoff Showdown’s High Stakes Point to a Surprising Under Outcome
If you’re a Cubs fan, this has been a bit of a torturous stretch. After the team decided not to do anything significant at the trade deadline, the one guy they did trade for hurt his shoulder. Then, Dansby Swanson missed first base on a game-tying single. Now they’ve dropped two straight to a team that is in their division. To make matters worse, Milwaukee just keeps winning baseball games. The Cubs are now four games back in the division. I gave out the Cubs at 13:1 to miss the playoffs, and it is looking like it could be more and more possible, considering that other teams are improving and they seem to be regressing. They are sending out Cade Horton to the hill this afternoon. Horton has been solid with a 5-3 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP, but they kind of treat him with “kid” gloves. He doesn’t work too deep into games, having completed six innings just three times this year. However, two of those came at home, where he has been very good – a sub-two ERA. Only Ke’Bryan Hayes has taken swings against Horton.
