The Cubs in 2007: Lucky, Talented, or Both

Going over this chart, which ranks each NL pitcher with at leas 60 IP in 2007 by BABIP.

It would appear that all five Cubs starters have below-average BABIPs for 2007. Four of Milwaukee's five starters are above-average for BABIP in 2007.

Additionally, Milwaukee is 6th worst in the NL in team BABIP (.293). Chicago is 5th best (.312).

If you're a Brewer fan, chalk June up to luck. If you're a Cubs fan, pray to God that Voros was wrong, because if not, Milwaukee has an edge for the next two months.
