As previously mentioned, the Cubs are fighting for an NL Central division title. Chicago sits 4.5 games back of the division-leading Milwaukee Brewers at this time. They own the top Wild Card spot in the <a href="https://todaytrendnews7.com/us-gross-national-debt-tops-40tn-for-first-time/” title=”US gross national debt tops $40tn for first time”>National League, six games above the San Diego Padres, who own the final spot
