There’s enough blame to go around for the Cubs’ September performance. FanGraphs’ playoff odds gave them a 73.8 percent shot to make the postseason on Sept. 1, which reached a season-high of 92.4 percent five days later, but by the end of Saturday’s game in Milwaukee, they had officially been eliminated from playoff contention.
