## Resource

The Cubs just split their season series with the Braves, proving they can compete with the NL’s elite—winning against the Dodgers and Padres, losing only to the Cardinals and Brewers. With a playoff spot likely locked as the first Wild Card, the team’s future hinges on offseason moves, especially pitching upgrades. Meanwhile, stars Pete Crow-Armstrong and Alex Bregman delivered a clinic, combining for 20 total bases and 7 RBIs, with Bregman in contention for top-five fWAR and Crow-Armstrong on track to shatter Cub records—and maybe even rival Ohtani or Soriano in historic impact. Despite bumps along the way, now’s the time to savor these final, thrilling weeks before the season ends. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
