18

The Cubs had a tough loss Friday night to the Brewers despite a dominant start by John Lackey (7 IP, 2 ER, 9 K), but you can't win if you don't score.

The series continues Saturday at Wrigley. Go Cubs go!
The Cubs have 21 regular season games left, including seven versus the Cards and six versus the Brewers. The Cubs Magic Number to win the NL Central equals:

163 - (Cubs wins + losses of NL Central rival with fewest losses).

As of now, that's 163 - (77 + 68), or 163 - 145. 163 - 145 = 18.

Thus, the Cubs Magic Number is 18. Follow CMN on Twitter!
