In recent days, we gained more clarity regarding the Chicago Cubs' immediate postseason future. First, it was the opponent - the San Diego Padres. Then, on Saturday, with a commanding win over the Cardinals, the Cubs clinched home-field advantage for the NL Wild Card Series. Now, we have our start times - at least for the first two games of the best-of-three series.
Game 1 is set for Tuesday afternoon with a 2:08 pm CT start time and Wednesday's Game 2 will start at the same time. The Cubs-Padres matchup will be the second game on the broadcast schedule each day, behind only the 12:08 pm CT start for one of the AL Wild Card Series.
