Is the NL Central winnable?

Aug 11, 2026 5:52 PM

Do we realistically think the Cubs still have a chance to win the NL Central?

Both Chicago and Milwaukee have 43 games remaining on the schedule and the Cubs are 5.0 games back entering play on Tuesday. If the Brewers are somewhat middling the rest of the way and go 23-20, the Cubs would still need to go 29-14 in order to overtake them.

It, of course, would be pretty surprising if Milwaukee was 23-20 given how they've played most of the season. And if they go 25-18, now you're talking about the Cubs needing to go 31-12 the rest of the way to win the division.

How much hope do you still have?
