The Cubs have clinched a playoff berth and their Magic Number to earn the top Wild Card seed in the National League is 4.
Any combination of Cubs wins and Padres losses totaling four 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 1.5 game lead over the Padres, who host the Brewers on Wednesday night while the North Siders continue their series against the Mets at Wrigley.
