This afternoon the Cubs will play a one game tiebreaker against the Brewers. Both teams wound up with a 95-67 regular season record, tied for the top of the National League, and the top of the NL Central. The winner will rest until Thursday when the NLDS starts at their home park. The loser will need to play in the wildcard game on Tuesday against either the Rockies or the Dodgers to win the right to play... wait for it... the team they lost to on Monday.
There is a lot at stake.
