Chicago Cubs

Despite a solid road record, the team has struggled with consistency, particularly on the offensive side where they rank 13th in runs scored.

Overall, Chicago's power ranking is ranked at 1, with a 13th ranking in offense and a 10th ranking in defense, holding a 75-72 record for the season.
