The Cubs looked lame against the Dodgers this year.
The good news for the Dodgers: They are comfortably in first place.
The bad: They won’t play the Cubs in the playoffs.
After losing consecutive series matches against Arizona and St. Louis, the Blue Crew was looking a little weak. Then came the Cubs, whom they embarassed during last year’s playoffs. This year, the Dodgers again made the Cubs look like the Flubs, holding them to 18 runs in eight games. If you exclude one 7-0 Cubs win, the Dodgers held the Cubs to a slim 1.5 runs per game this year. Despite those horrid offensive numbers, the Cubs still managed to win 3 of 8.
As the playoffs near, the competition is going to be much tighter. Right now Philly is looking tough. And I’m guessing they will score more than 1.5 runs per.
