Matt Marton-Imagn Images Red-hot Crew returns home for first time in second half The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face off with the Chicago Cubs in a three-game set beginning Monday evening at American Family Field, as the two teams will emerge from the series with a leader in the NL Central. Heading into the series, each team sits at 62-43 on the season, comfortably ahead of the Cincinnat...2025

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images There were a lot of negative WPA scores for the Cubs in this game. Only two Cubs had positive WPA scores in this game, which was pretty much over by the fourth inning. Fangraphs Like I said — over by the fourth inning. After Mike Tauchman’s homer in that inning, the Sox had a 99.4 percent chance of winning. Reminder: Heroe...2025

• White Sox 12, Cubs 5: Shōta Imanaga gets pounded

Photo by Daniel Bartel/Getty Images Yikes. The Cubs knew they could pick up a game on the Brewers in the NL Central standings before this one even started, because the Marlins rallied late in an afternoon contest Friday and defeated Milwaukee 5-1. Welp. The Cubs offense came out flat against Adrian Houser — who, I hope, might be in the Cubs rotation next week — and Shōta Imanaga got hit ea...2025
