He follows all local teams, including the Chicago Cubs. A favorite to win the 2016 World Series title, the Chicago Cubs currently have a winning percentage over .700 and are currently on track to chalk up 116 wins this season. After cutting down the Phillies in a 6-4 victory on June 6, the team grabbed their 40th win and became the fastest club to win 40 games since the 2001 Seattle Mariners, a team that finished with an impressive 116-46 record. The Cubs are now working to extend their 10-game lead in the National League Central Division and will look to carry this early momentum through the remainder of the season. Many sports enthusiasts believe that the Cubs, with their excellent pitching and hitting numbers, have the potential to beat the 2001 Mariners’ record and become the first team in major league baseball history to win 117 or more regular-season games.
