Won't: But the Cubs are Still Too Streaky
Still, the Cubs have been unable to sustain their top form for extended periods, which could be their ultimate undoing in the ultra-tight NL playoff race.
As noted, Chicago doesn't have solid offensive footing. Their lackluster OPS since the start of the season, as do their runs scored, home runs, and strikeouts, puts them in the bottom half of the MLB.
We've seen the Cubs offense flourish at times, but unless they demonstrate that with more consistency, they're doomed to miss the postseason for the fourth straight season.
