Holy cow! The Cubs shut out the Bucs 4-0 on Monday behind a quality start from Jameson Taillon (6 IP, 2 H, 3 K) and homers from Michael Busch and Pete Crow-Armstrong!
The Giants lost on Monday, dropping the CMN for a playoff berth to TWO!
Here's the full CMN breakdown:
Playoff Berth: 2
1st Wild Card: 9
Division Title: 17
The Cubs - Pirates series continues Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
It's possible for the Cubs to clinch a playoff berth on Tuesday if...
Cubs win (87 wins)
Giants lose (86 win maximum)
Reds lose (86 win max)
The D-Backs have an 87 win maximum, so a Cubs win would ensure at least a tie (at 87 wins) and they hold the tiebreaker over Arizona with a 4-3 regular season record over the Snakes.
Regardless of what the other teams do, if the Cubs win two more games, they are IN the playoffs! At that point, this page will reflect the CMN to clinch the top Wild Card berth and its home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
150 games down, 12 to go.
GO CUBS GO!
