This is a must-see matchup for Sunday night baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs would both be in the playoffs if this series started today. But that doesn't mean they can pack it in.
The Cubs are holding onto the faint chance they can catch the Pittsburgh Pirates in the standings to gain home-field advantage in their impending Wild Card Game matchup. They'll also have to look out below them because a tough September could lead the lurking San Francisco Giants to gain ground in the wild-card race.
The Dodgers, on the other hand, are holding onto a four-game division lead over the Giants and trying to get clicking on all cylinders.
