The Cubs have clinched a playoff spot and are currently the NL’s No. 5 seed, one game behind San Diego for No. 4 but holding the tiebreaker. Either way they open in a best of three Wild Card Series from Tuesday, September 29 through Thursday, October 1, on NBC, NBCSN and Peacock, most likely against the Padres. The winner plays the No. 1 Brewers in the NLDS.
