For those of you interested in such things, the Cubs, when ranked against all other major league teams, rank #1 in RPI ("Relative Power Index"), which is a way of rating the teams, taking into account a variety of factors. Helping their standing is the fact that they are tied for first with respect to strength of schedule.
Not playing the Pirates yet will do that to you.
