The Chicago Cubs have reached the midway point of the season with a strong performance, particularly from Pete Crow-Armstrong, who is on track to finish with an 8.0 WAR. As he and other key players aim for postseason success, the Cubs' biggest shortfall lies in their pitching depth, compounded by injuries to top pitchers like Justin Steele. The team's offensive prowess, highlighted by Crow-Armstrong's impressive stats and support from teammates, is contrasted by concerns over starting pitching effectiveness as they prepare for the trade deadline and the second half of the season.
"Pete Crow-Armstrong's impressive stats put him on track to join the top 10 all-time Cubs position players if he maintains his current performance through the season."
"Despite their offensive strengths, the Cubs face a critical challenge in their pitching depth, particularly after injuries to Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga."
