A Marquis Production: Cubs 11, White Sox 7

None of us has ever seen anything like this, none who are living, anyway.

The Cubs are now 31-8 at home. I haven't been able to determine whether that's the best 39-game start by any team (it is, as far as I can tell, for the Cubs) at home, but that translates to a .795 winning percentage.

No team in the history of the National League has ever played at that percentage for a full home season. The closest was the 1975 Cincinnati Reds, who were 64-17 (.790). The Cubs' best record at home is 58-19 (.753), set in 1910 during a 154-game season. Their best record at home in the expansion era, with the 162-game schedule, is 51-29 (.638), set in 1984. more...
