Starting tonight, the Cubs have precisely 12 home games and 12 road games remaining this season the Cubs own the best home record (40-29) and are the only team with an above-.500 record on the road among N.L. Central clubs. Today marks the 16th day in a stretch in which the Cubs play 20 games in 20 days through Sunday, and the Cubs have posted a 9-6 record during this period. After tomorrow s series finale in Pittsburgh, the Cubs return to Wrigley Field to begin a nine-game homestand starting Friday night vs. Milwaukee. THREE S COMPANY: Since the All-Star Break, Kris Bryant is leading National League third basemen in several categories with a.326 batting average (next closest is Nolan Arenado at.314), a.420 on-base percentage (ahead of Eugenio Suarez,.413), 15 doubles (Anthony Rendon, 14) and 38 runs scored (Suarez, 34). Bryant has reached base safely in his last 30 starts and is batting.344 (44-for- 128) with 1.046 OPS in his last 35 games starting July 29. YES WAY, JOSE: Cubs starter José Quintana ranks third among National League lefties with five wins since the All-Star Break, trailing only Arizona s Patrick Corbin (seven) and Washington s Gio Gonzalez (six). BREAKING UP: The Cubs are 32-18 (.640) since the All-Star Break, tied with the Washington Nationals for the third-best mark in baseball behind the Cleveland Indians (35-16,.686) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (31-17/.646). Chicago entered the All-Star Break with a 5.5-game deficit to the Brewers, but have gained 9.0 games over Milwaukee since then and currently hold a 3.5- game advantage over the Brewers. The Cubs are 43-23 (.652) in September/October since Joe Maddon took the reins prior to the 2015 season, the best winning percentage in the majors in that span (Cleveland is second at 41-25/.621). FIRST THINGS FIRST: The Cubs have spent each of the last 42 days atop the N.L. Central since waking up in first place on July 27 they have been in sole possession of first place for 41 of those days. The Cubs were the first defending World Champions to be in first place in their division on Labor Day in seven years since the 2010 New York Yankees held a 2.5-game edge the Cubs have the largest divisional lead by a defending champion on Labor Day since the 2009 Phillies had a 6.5-game edge. The two most-recent defending World Champions were 9.5-games out (the 2016 Kansas City Royals) and 7.5-games out (the 2015 San Francisco Giants) of first place on Labor Day in their respective divisions while the 2014 Boston Red Sox were in last place and faced a 19.5-game deficit. WHAT LIES AHEAD: Of the 24 games remaining for the Cubs this season, 16 are against teams with a.500 record or better and eight are against sub-.500 clubs CUBS RECORD 2017 Overall:... 75-63 At Wrigley Field:... 40-29 On the Road:... 35-34 April:... 13-11 May:... 12-16 June:... 15-13 July... 16-8 August:... 17-12 September:... 2-3 All-Time Since 1876:... 10,786-10,251 At Wrigley Field (since 1916):...4,258-3,738 Leading Entering 6th:... 54-10 Tied Entering 6th:... 9-10 Trailing Entering 6th:... 12-43 Leading Entering 7th:... 58-6 Tied Entering 7th:... 8-9 Trailing Entering 7th:... 9-48 Leading Entering 8th:... 66-7 Tied Entering 8th:... 5-6 Trailing Entering 8th:... 4-50 Leading Entering 9th:... 65-1 Tied Entering 9th:... 6-2 Trailing Entering 9th:... 4-60 Scoring First:... 47-25 One-Run Games:... 20-15 Two-Run Games:... 12-15 Extra-Inning Games:... 4-2 Scoring Four or More:... 65-17 Scoring Fewer Than Four:... 10-46 Out-Hitting Opponents:... 55-12 Hit Totals Equal:... 10-6 Out-Hit by Opponents:... 10-45 Hit at Least One HR:... 62-34 Hit Two or More HR:... 43-14 Playing Errorless Ball:... 46-26 Committing at Least One Error:... 29-37 the Cubs are in a stretch of 24-straight games against teams with a sub-.500 mark the Cubs do not play a club currently with a winning record until returning home to play Milwaukee on Friday. Starting today, the Cubs play 19 of their final 24 games against N.L. Central division foes, or 79 percent of them the Cubs are 33-24 vs. the N.L. Central, a.579 winning percentage, the best intra-divisional record of any N.L. Central team (the Brewers at 28-28 and Reds at 30-30 are tied for second-best). Chicago has just two days off the rest of the way next Monday, September 11 and the following Monday, September 18. PLATING RUNS AT A RAPID RATE: Starting August 1, the Cubs have averaged 6.2 runs per game (211 runs in 34 games), 1.5 runs better than the team s 4.7 runs per contest in the first four months (484 runs in 104 games). The Cubs have scored 695 runs this season, third-most in the N.L. behind Washington (718 runs) and Colorado (702 runs). The Cubs lead the N.L. and rank second in the majors with a +81 run differential since the Break, trailing only Cleveland (+112). 30 2B, 30 HR, 100 RBI: Anthony Rizzo last weekend hit a three-run triple in the fourth inning to give him 100 RBI on the season and reach 30 doubles, 30 homers and 100 RBI for the third-straight campaign, this year doing so before Labor Day he s only the fourth Cub ever to reach those thresholds in at least three seasons, joining Hack Wilson (4 times, 1927-30), Billy Williams (3 times, 1965, 1970, 1972) and Sammy Sosa (3 times, 1997, 2000-01) Rizzo and Wilson are the lone Cubs to do so in at least three-straight seasons. Rizzo was one of four players to reach 30 homers, 30 doubles and 100 RBI by Labor Day, joining Paul Goldschmidt, Jonathan Schoop and Nolan Arenado. Overall, Rizzo is the ninth Cub ever to reach 100 RBI in a season at least three times, and the second left-handed hitter to do so, joining Billy Williams. GLOVE LOVE: Anthony Rizzo enters today with a career-high 116-game errorless streak at first base dating to April 25 that s the longest errorless streak by a Cubs first baseman since Hall of Famer Ernie Banks had a 126-game errorless run at first base spanning the final 114 games of the 1969 season and the first 12 games of 1970 thanks to Ed Hartig for his research assistance. 25 X 3: Kris Bryant last week hit his 25th homer of the season, becoming the first Cub ever to reach 25 home runs in each of his first three major league campaigns. 20-HOMER CLUB: The Cubs have set a franchise mark with six players with at least 20 homers as Ian Happ last week joined Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras, Anthony Rizzo, Kyle Schwarber and Javier Báez the club previously had five players with at least 20 homers in 1958, 2004 and 2008. Additionally, the Cubs have set a major league record with five 20-homer seasons by players in their age 25 or younger season (Báez, Bryant, Contreras, Happ, Schwarber) this surpasses the 2007 Brewers and 1979 Expos (four apiece). 28 AND COUNTING: Cubs closer Wade Davis last week set a franchise record as he converted his 27th-consecutive save opportunity to remain perfect in save chances this season he surpassed Ryan Dempster, who converted 26-straight opportunities from August 2, 2005-May 1, 2006 Davis on Friday extended the record, picking up his 28th save in 28 chances. Dating to September 3 of last season, Davis has locked down 34-straight save opportunities, now the longest active streak in the majors as Baltimore s Zach Britton last week snapped his stretch of 60-consecutive save chances converted. ARMS OUT OF THE PEN: Brian Duensing has stranded 26 of 31 inherited runners this season, allowing just 16.1 percent of the runners to score that s the third-best percentage among N.L. relievers Carl Edwards Jr. has limited opponents to a.132 batting average (24- for-182), the best mark in the N.L. and the second-best mark among all major league relief pitchers (Texas Keone Kela leads,.128).
