Cubs News
The Cubs are riding a wave of momentum, coming off a 4-2 victory over the Cardinals and boasting a remarkable run differential of +24 over the last week. With a record of 62-47, the team is solidifying its playoff push, and Shota Imanaga's recent performances have positioned him as the ace they desperately needed. Meanwhile, Edward Cabrera is on the mend, topping out at 98.8 mph during his rehab start, and could be a game-changing addition down the stretch. As the Trade Deadline looms, excitement is building about potential acquisitions like Tarik Skubal, who could give the Cubs the postseason stopper they haven’t had in years. With the Yankees coming to town next, the Cubs must maintain this momentum and capitalize on their hot offense, averaging 6.3 runs per game in their last seven outings.
