Both the Cubs and Rockies will find themselves in a win-or-go-home situation in tonight's National League Wild Card Game at Wrigley Field.
"I'm excited," Chicago's Daniel Murphy said. "Two-thirds of the league is home right now."
Both teams would have preferred to have the day off to prepare for the NL Division Series presented by Doosan, which will open on Thursday at Miller Park, but after losing their respective division tiebreaker games on Monday, they must rebound quickly to face each other.
