Chicago Cubs
The Chicago Cubs have had a strong presence in the NL Central Division for much of the season, but the Milwaukee Brewers have recently overtaken them for the top spot. Despite a recent sweep by the San Francisco Giants, the Cubs remain in control of the top wildcard spot in the National League. The Cubs, with a record of 89-73, are just 6.5 games behind the Brewers in the division race. They will rely on righty Cade Horton, who has had a successful season with an 8-4 record and an ERA of 2.88, in their upcoming series against the Rockies. Several key players, including SP Michael Soroka and RP Eli Morgan, are currently dealing with injuries.
