Tuesday in the NL:  Cubs dropped a frustrating one to Milwaukee while the Phillies beat Arizona. The Diamondbacks' loss dropped the CMN for a Wild Card berth!

 

Cubs Magic Numbers:

• Division:  32
• Top Wild Card & Home Field:  23
• Wild Card:  17  

See this post for CMN calculation details.

 

Here's how the remainder of the season shapes up:

 

5 vs. 86-53 Milwaukee (2 home, 3 road)
6 vs. 70-69 Miami (3 + 3)
3 vs. 68-71 Pittsburgh (home)
3 vs. 82-57 Atlanta (home)

3 at 66-73 Cincinnati
3 at 75-64 Boston

The Cubs currently sit eight games back of Milwaukee in the NL Central and 1/2 game behind Philadelphia in the race for the top NL Wild Card berth and its benefit of home field for all NLWCS games.

 

139 games down, 23 to go.

 

Go Cubs go!
