Frequently Asked Questions
How are the Chicago Cubs performing through the first 30 games of the 2022 season?
The Cubs are 10-18 and sitting in fourth place in the NL Central, earning a D+ grade. They started the year 6-4 but have won just four games since April 19, struggling through a brutal stretch of games against playoff-caliber opponents.
Who is leading the Milwaukee Brewers in 2022?
The Brewers have been led by shortstop Willy Adames (.873 OPS), first baseman Rowdy Tellez (.966 OPS), and outfielder Christian Yelich (.792 OPS). Their pitching staff has also been a strength, with closer Josh Hader posting a 0.00 ERA through 11 appearances.
How has Seiya Suzuki been playing lately for the Cubs?
After a hot start in April, Suzuki hit just .178 over his previous 11 games heading into Mother's Day weekend, with only one walk and 13 strikeouts. His .462 OPS during that slump has been a major concern for the Cubs.
What are the biggest problems with the Cubs starting rotation in 2022?
The Cubs' starting rotation has the fourth-worst ERA in baseball at 5.16 and ranks in the bottom third in innings pitched, strikeouts, and home runs allowed per nine innings. Marcus Stroman has been a particular disappointment, posting a 5.13 ERA through 26.1 innings.
Where do the St. Louis Cardinals stand in the NL Central after 30 games?
