The Brewers will also pose a challenge. These divisional games are crucial for the Cubs’ chances of winning the division and securing a playoff spot.

Summer Stretch and Late Season Push

The summer months are a critical stretch for any team hoping to contend. The Cubs will be playing a lot of baseball in July and August, facing a mix of divisional rivals and interleague opponents. This stretch will test their depth and resilience. The goal is to stay healthy and maintain momentum heading into the final weeks of the season.
