The Chicago Cubs, following a challenging May that saw them finish 13-16 and fall behind in the NL Central, are looking to turn their season around in June. They have a favorable stretch ahead, playing 22 consecutive games against teams with sub-.500 records, such as the Giants and Rockies. However, their slide included a ten-game losing streak and injuries to key pitchers. With their current roster, the Cubs hope this month provides the opportunity to improve their standings.
