PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates are in. The Cubs are right on the brink. The Cardinals? They've been in for nearly a week already.
The National League Central's top three teams are all bound for the postseason. It will be a fitting destination for three of the Majors' best teams from what turned out to be the game's most competitive division.
But where exactly will they play? How will they match up? That remains to be seen.
Entering a critical three-game series at Wrigley Field this weekend, Pittsburgh holds a 3 1/2-game lead over Chicago for home-field advantage in the NL Wild Card Game presented by Budweiser.
