Summary
Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola break down the Chicago Cubs’ latest series loss in St. Louis, dropping two of three to the Cardinals as the team continues its recent skid. The Cubs have now lost 4 of their last 5 series and sit 5 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers, while also trailing both the Cardinals and Pirates in a suddenly crowded NL Central race. Despite the struggles, there are a few bright spots. Alex Bregman is starting to find a groove at the plate, blasting his first home run since May 12 and extending his current 11-game hitting streak. Is this the spark the Cubs lineup desperately needs to turn things around? The guys also dive into a surprising playoff projection update — for the first time this season, Baseball Reference has BOTH Chicago teams (Cubs and White Sox) making the postseason. Is it realistic, or just early-June optimism? But the biggest concern? The starting rotation. Jameson Taillon and Shota Imanaga are on pace for the wrong kind of MLB history — giving up home runs at one of the highest rates in baseball. Taillon currently leads the league in home runs allowed, with Imanaga not far behind, and the Cubs pitching staff is trending toward one of the worst home-run-allowing seasons in recent MLB history.
