The Cubs have clinched a playoff berth and their Magic Number to earn the top Wild Card seed in the National League is 4.

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 2.5 game lead over the Padres, who host the Brewers on Tuesday night.
