Chicago Cubs: Wild Card game will help Cubs in NLDS

The season is over but we still have to wait. The Chicago Cubs open the National League Divisional Series on Friday night at Wrigley Field. That is four full days off. Plenty of time to rest. Or collect rust. No real baseball will be played by the team. Sure, there will be some simulation or practice, but not true baseball.

On Wednesday, all eyes will be on Citi Field in New York as the Mets will host the San Francisco Giants in the NL Wildcard. The match-up will feature the top starter for each team: Madison Bumgarner and Noah Syndergaard.
