The Chicago Cubs have quietly assembled one of the most promising pitching staffs in the National League. With a blend of veteran arms and emerging talent, the rotation could be the key to a deep October run.
Justin Steele has established himself as a legitimate ace, posting a 2.98 ERA last season with 198 strikeouts. Behind him, Shota Imanaga proved he belongs in a major league rotation with his deceptive arsenal and elite command.
The bullpen got a massive upgrade with the signing of a proven closer, giving the Cubs a weapon they've lacked in recent years. The setup crew features two hard-throwing righties who dominated in the second half.
If the offense provides even average run support, this pitching staff has the talent to carry the Cubs to the postseason. The North Side is ready for meaningful baseball again.
