The Chicago Cubs' season is on the line tonight when they host the Milwaukee Brewers for Game 3 of the NLDS at Wrigley Field. Short of the Cubs playing at home, every indication is that Wednesday will be the last game of their playoff run. Run prevention has been at the center of how the Cubs made their decisions, but considering scoring runs has been one of the biggest issues, Wednesday's game could see Craig Counsell pull a lever has avoided in the playoffs so far.
The lever would be to bench rookie third baseman Matt Shaw.
