The Chicago Cubs Are The Fairly Likely N.L. One Seed

All it does is virtually insure the N.L. Central title and increase their already high likelihood to be the N.L. one seed, but the current Chicago Cubs’ 9 game winning streak is impressive.

The streak began with a Sunday night, 12 inning, home win in a game started by the fine Seattle Mariners’ hurler Felix Hernandez (he won yesterday and the Mariners have won 6 straight games but unlike the Cubs are trailing in their division) and continued with 3 game sweeps vs the Miami Marlins and at Oakland vs the Athletics.

Yesterday the now (71-41) Cubs completed a 2 game sweep vs the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. “Chi” is five and a half games ahead of Washington (Nationals) in the race for the National League one seed.
