Episode 36 - Run Differential, Luck and Winning (Losing) in the Margins

The Cubs are surprisingly among the league leaders in run differentials, yet sit on this off day with an 18-19 record. In this episode I dig into run differential and how it plays into playoff chances. Tied in with run differential is the baseball idea of “luck” (no, not black cats & dark magic), so I talk about baseball luck and how the Cubs can make their own. When a team plays a lot of close games, the winning and losing comes in the margins, so what do the Cubs need to do to flip the script in close games? Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
