Wednesday in the NL race - Padres lose, Cubs up big over the Mets late at Wrigley. The Padres' loss drops their Magic Number to earn the top Wild Card seed in the National League to 3!
The Cubs have already clinched a playoff berth, and any combination of Cubs wins and Padres losses totaling three would give the Cubs the top NL Wild Card seed.
The team with the top Wild Card seed doesn't just earn home field advantage in the NL Wild Card Series -- they host all of the games.
The Cubs currently hold a two game lead over the Padres, who have an off day Thursday before heading home to host Arizona for three games this weekend. The North Siders wrap up their series against the Mets Thursday night at Wrigley before hosting the Cards for three weekend games.
