Cubs Pre and Postgame host David Kaplan and analyst David DeJesus preview the Cubs' upcoming week in the Honda Road Ahead, presented by Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Honda dealers.
Despite losing Sunday's finale against the Braves, the Cubs have positioned themselves nicely for a playoff berth.
The North Siders hold a 3.5-game lead in the N.L. Central, and their chances to play October baseball are 97 percent, according to ESPN. The next step is taking care of business against divisional opponents.
On Monday, the Cubs head to Pittsburgh to begin a four-game series with the Pirates, who may have a little extra juice after being embarrased at Wrigley Field last week.
