For the first time since 2020, the Cubs are heading back to the postseason.  They clinched their spot in the playoffs yesterday, defeating the Pirates 8-4.  While they are only the third NL team to qualify, they are still five games behind the Brewers in the NL Central and look like they will be the top Wild Card heading into October.  If the season ended today, they would host the Padres in the Wild Card series at Wrigley Field.
