Cubs Aim to Halt Three-Game Slide Against Athletics

The Chicago Cubs sit fourth in the NL Central with a 32‑30 record, while the Oakland Athletics are second in the AL West at 30‑31. The Cubs are eager to snap a three‑game losing streak and start a winning run.

Oakland will look to capitalize on home‑field advantage to add points. Both teams see this series as a turning point in the latter half of the season.

Pitching depth and offensive execution will be decisive.
