Chicago Cubs recent form has put questions marks over their credentials. Scoring runs has become a nagging issue, while the pitchers are not able to hold off the challenge against the opponents. The Dodgers also came out with too many questions from the series against the Padres, but they are better than Cubs at the moment.
