Thank god the NL Central is a weak division.
Despite being just a .500 ballclub through their first 30 games, the Chicago Cubs find themselves in second place in the division and 6.5 games behind the strongest team in baseball, the St. Louis Cardinals.
Though they've shown some positives throughout the season, the Cubs have struggled as of late. After a winning month to begin the year, the Cubs have dropped eight of their last 11 games, all against division rivals.
The Cubs have a long ways to go if they still intend to live up to Anthony Rizzo's prediction of an NL Central championship, but they have certainly shown that they have a solid team that can compete.
Regardless of the team's recent tribulations, Cubs fans are hopelessly optimistic for the rest of 2015. Here are four bold predictions for the remainder of the 2015 season.
