The Philadelphia Phillies are just above 39-37 as they enter the middle of the 2022 MLB season. They couldn’t have gotten out of their eight-games-below-.500 slump without star slugger Kyle Schwarber.

For the Chicago Cubs, their 2018 season ended in a very unceremonious way, losing their hold of the National League Central division in game 163 to the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field, followed by a crushing extra-innings defeat at home against the Colorado Rockies. 2019 looks to be divisional title or bust for this team, […]
