The Cubs (82-74) battled for a crucial sweep of the Colorado Rockies this weekend to maintain their position in the Wild Card race. They are tied with the Diamondbacks (82-74) for the second spot and maintain a one-game lead over the Marlins (81-75) for the final spot with just six remaining.
Chicago now finishes the season with a road trip to face two division winners beginning with three in Atlanta against the mighty Braves (100-56). The National League East champions just took home their 100th win and have already secured a first-round bye in the playoffs, though they still need to keep pushing because they’re only 3.
