Fowler a catalyst for Cubs offense

It's cliche to say as Dexter Fowler goes, so do the Cubs.

However, when looking at the numbers, that may be the case.

As CSN Chicago noted,"when Dexter Fowler gets on base, the Cubs are 27-12.

"That's a .692 winning percentage. That also means Fowler has scored in 27 of the Cubs' 43 wins during the 2015 season."

While those are great numbers, they're only relevant if Fowler is getting on base and he's been struggling a bit in that category lately.

"I am [confident Fowler will rebound]," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "His work's been great. He cares, he works and when he goes, we go. I've told him that - 'Hey, when you go, we go.'

"It's incredible when he gets on base and scores a run what our record looks like. It's going to come back to him and us regarding the offense.

"But the work's there. He's been playing really good defense, he's been playing a good game of baseball. He's just not been as effective as he can be from the left side."
