The Cubs have been playing almost exclusively contending teams so far.
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Chicago Cubs fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Cubs have played 21 games so far this year and have a 12-9 record.
Which is actually very good, because of those 21 games, only three (the three at the A’s) have been against a team with a record currently under .500.
Eight games remain until the schedule gets “easier,” though it should be noted that no MLB game is actually “easy.” All eight of those games are at Wrigley Field, where the Cubs have a 4-2 record in the early going. They’ll face the Diamondbacks in a three-game series this weekend, host the Dodgers for a pair next Tuesday and Wednesday, and then the following weekend the Phillies will visit Wrigley Field.
This week’s SB Nation Reacts survey asks what the Cubs’ record will be after this 29-game stretch ends on April 27. Results will post later this week. Thanks for participating!
