Chicago Cubs: Wild Card game will help Cubs in NLDS
One advantage of winning the most games in the National League means time to rest. It also means the Wild Card teams will need to use their “ace” before the NLDS.
The season is over but we still have to wait. The Chicago Cubs open the National League Divisional Series on Friday night at Wrigley Field. That is four full days off. Plenty of time to rest. Or collect rust. No real baseball will be played by the team. Sure, there will be some simulation or practice, but not true baseball.
