The Cubs won again on Saturday to ensure that Wrigley Field will host the Wild Card matchup against the Padres, so this game doesn’t matter. Well, it doesn’t have any postseason implications. After scoring five runs in five straight games for the first time since May 16-20 against the White Sox and Marlins, the Cubs just need to stay healthy and maintain their momentum.
Michael Busch has been one of the best offensive producers in the game over the last two weeks, hitting seven home runs in 13 games. Seiya Suzuki has four homers in the last three games, equaling his total from the previous 64 games.
