The Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-0 Friday afternoon to run their record to 38-15, a .717 winning percentage. Going into the season I thought the Cubs had a shot at an historic season, and a .717 would translate to 116 wins over a full season.
There’s little luck involved here. This record is not a result of doing well in close games. The Cubs are blowing away their opponents:
| Team | Record |
|---|---|
| Cubs | 20-3 |
| Nationals | 11-4 |
| Red Sox | 11-4 |
| Giants | 10-4 |
| Mariners | 12-5 |
No team is close in terms of wins in this category. They are 7-6 in one runs games. All five teams are division leaders or share a division lead.
