2026 Chicago Cubs PROJECTIONS! How Do They Stack Up Against the Rest of MLB? | CHGO Cubs Podcast

Luke Stuckmeyer and Joey Christopoulos break down the latest 2026 Chicago Cubs projections and analyze how the North Siders stack up against the rest of Major League Baseball. How do the numbers view Alex Bregman’s impact in the middle of the lineup? Is Pete Crow-Armstrong projected to take another step toward stardom? What do projections say about Ian Happ’s consistency and overall value? And on the pitching side, can Cade Horton emerge as a front-line arm while Daniel Palencia locks down high-leverage innings? From projected win totals and playoff odds to offensive rankings and rotation outlook, Luke and Joey dive deep into where the Cubs rank in the NL Central — and whether they truly measure up against MLB powerhouses like the Dodgers, Braves, and Phillies. Are the Cubs a legitimate National League contender in 2026? Do they project as a top-10 team in baseball? And what needs to happen to outperform the models?
