The Chicago Cubs are experiencing a significant slump at the plate, falling to a 7-20 record since early May. Their batting average has dropped from.258 to.211, with 88 runs scored over the past 27 games. Key players Alex Bregman, Michael Busch, Seiya Suzuki, and Dansby Swanson have not contributed significantly during this stretch, though Busch is showing signs of improvement. Fans are invited to participate in a survey to predict which hitter will turn it around first. Results will be shared later this week.
