On this edition of the Cubs Corner presented by Coach’s Bar and Grill, Anthony talked with AL expert a Robert Fiorante, and the pair breakdown each division and give their predictions.

(As far as the situation at our sponsor Coach’s Bar and Grill, located at 6169 N Northwest Highway — they are open for curbside pickup and delivery, as well as a beer garden, patio and limited indoor seating as they progress through phase four of governor JB Pritzker’s plan to reopen Illinois.)
