What's at stake over the final weekend of the regular season

Our final weekend of baseball's regular season! It has been a fun ride, my friends.

Here's a quick look at what to watch for this weekend:

Friday

Game of the day: Cubs at Cardinals (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2)

The Cardinals were 7½ games up on the Brewers on Sept. 5, but Milwaukee is an improbable 18-2 since then to climb just one game back in the National League Central and put pressure on the Cardinals this weekend. (Both teams will at least earn a wild-card spot.) It's not as though St. Louis has played poorly: The Cards are 11-8 since that date.
