The Chicago Cubs clinched the NL Central with a 5-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium this evening. This is the first time the Cubs have won back to back NL Central titles since 2007-2008.
The Cubs will face the NL East champion Washington Nationals in the NLDS. Game 1 begins in D.C. on October 6th.
At the All-Star Break, the Cubs were 43-45 and 5.5 games back of the Milwaukee Brewers. But since the All-Star Break, the Cubs have gone 46-24. They took over first place on July 26th and have never looked back.
The Cubs are still a far cry from the team that won 103 games & their first World Series in 108 years last year. I don't think the Cubs will get past the Nats this time around.
