ESPN’s Useless Stat of the Day — Why the Cubs Won’t Win the World Series
The Cubs have the best record in the National League and the second best record in baseball. So why can’t you consider them a World Series contender?
Because of this useless stat, brought to you by ESPN:
The Cubs became the first team in the National League to win 60 games. The last time the first time in the NL to win 60 games won the World Series was the 95 Braves.

I’ve got a stat ESPN: If the Cubs don’t win 11 games in the playoffs (that is if they make the playoffs), then they won’t win the whole thing. And that’s a fact!
