Re: Cubs have a much easier schedule than the Cardinals

Good input. I agree strongly with your assertion of us facing some serious pitching, and good to best teams.CorneliusWolfe wrote: ↑13 May 2025 12:54 pm I keep hearing about the Cubs brutal schedule and Cards cupcake schedule thus far. I seem to remember facing a lot of elite and near elite pitching, and streaking teams. Twins not as bad as initially thought, went into Cincy w/them riding 5-game win streak, Mets x 7, Phillies x 4, Houston vs their top pitching. Sure the Cubs played the Dodgers and we haven’t but I don’t see such a disparaging difference as many say. If you only look at opponent win% I’m sure their schedule grades out as tougher but the other aforementioned variables could make a real difference. Everything is still somewhat SSS. Next month will go a long way in Cardinals establishing themselves as contender or pretender. Either way, much more entertaining season so far. Team has a little electricity to them, especially on defense.
