    After pitching 6 2 3 innings of two-hit ball Wednesday night to move the Chicago Cubs into sole possession of first place in the National League Central for the first time since May 26 https://www.shopteamcubs.com/Andre_Dawson_Jersey, Jake Arrieta made a bold prediction.“I remember last year we were in this clubhouse around the same time, and it’s no different,” Arrieta said after helping lead the Cubs to an 8-3 win over the White Sox. “We expect to remain in first place throughout the remainder of the way.“We know it’s going to be a tough task, but that’s kind of what you deal with at the highest level of sports. You expect to have really good competition from teams that are either equal with you or close behind. We feel we have the group to separate ourselves at this point in time and remain in first place for the remainder of the way https://www.shopteamcubs.com/Wade_Davis_Jersey.”Arrieta’s confidence has been fueled by the Cubs’ 10-2 recordsince the All-Star break and a rotation that has posted a 2.50 ERA to go with a 9-0 record with eight quality starts in that span. The Cubs (53-47) have passed the Milwaukee Brewers (54-49) despite trailing by 5 1 2games at the break.
