Today's game is HUGE even with 7 weeks left in the season.
46 games sounds like a lot, but if the Cubs win today and then continue to win at their current pace they finish with 89 wins. We would then have to go 34-12 to catch them. That's not going to happen. We need to win almost every head-to-head game against the teams in front of us from here on in.
After this series we will just have 3 more games against the Cubs at Wrigley. We also only have 3 games against the Brewers (home), and it just so happens that we are 3 games behind them in the loss column. But we have 8 left with the Cards (4 home).
We have messed around too long to make a serious move. We pretty much have to sweep a lot of these series to have a chance.
