We official have our first postseason-bound team of the 2016 season, and it should come as no surprise that team is the Chicago Cubs. They've been the best team in baseball since Opening Day.

The Cubs had a chance to clinch the NL Central title with a victory at home against the Brewers, but alas, they lost to their division rival to the north (MIL 5, CHC 4). They missed a chance to celebration the clincher at home in front of the Wrigley Field fans.
