After starting the year about as well as anyone could have asked for, the Chicago Cubs have cooled off significantly and are making a habit of losing winnable games. Last night was the latest example, as the offense was nonexistent, and one bad inning led to a 9-2 defeat at the hands of the Atlanta Braves. The Cubs are now 4-6 in their last ten games.
This is a significant stretch of games for the Cubs. After their series with the Braves, they will play ten consecutive divisional games.
