Cubs Make Late-Season Charge for 2015 Playoff Berth
- 1. Cubs Make Late-Season Charge for 2015 Playoff Berth By Yosef Meystel
- 2. With the dog days of summer in full swing, the Major League Baseball playoff picture begins to come into focus. One of the most compelling stories of the 2015 season has been the resurgence of the Chicago Cubs, a team that has famously gone more than a century without a World Series title.
- 3. NL Favorites Even in the hypercompetitive National League Central, the Cubs have positioned themselves as heavy favorites for a spot in the NL Wild Card game. The Chicago team posted winning records over the first four months of the season, finishing July with a record of 54- 47.
- 4. NL Favorites In August, the team found its late- season form, going on an 18-5 tear thanks to the hitting of first baseman Anthony Rizzo and the lights-out pitching of ace Jake Arrieta. Although the Cubs currently sit third in the NL Central, behind the Cardinals and Pirates, the team enjoys a 10-game lead over the next closest wild card contender, making an all-Central NL Wild Card game all but inevitable.
