It’s always fun, around this time of year, to look at what players and teams have done so far and make ridiculous extrapolations as to how they’ll do for an entire season based on those numbers.
Reminder: This is just a silly exercise, not intended to be serious. Still, I thought it would amuse.
The Cubs have played five games. That’s three percent of a 162-game season. So what can we expect based on the numbers so far?
The Cubs are on their way to a 107-win season!
The 12-run outburst Tuesday evening against the Rockies put the Cubs in plus territory in run differential for the first time this year.
