The postseason fortunes of the Chicago Cubs and the San Francisco Giants could not be more different. The Giants ended a World Series title drought that went back to 1954 when they won the 2010 Fall Classic — and then they won again in 2012 and 2014. The Chicago Cubs have not won a title since 1908. The Giants actually had a better winning percentage than the Cubs did at the All-Star break, but the second half saw the Giants slide precipitously, not clinching a wild card spot until the season’s last game, as they finished off a four-game winning streak and a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
