They enter the NLDS as the top seed in the National League, presenting a significant challenge for the Cubs. As the teams gear up for this critical matchup, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and the anticipation is palpable in Chicago.

Managerial Decisions Loom

Cubs manager Craig Counsell is faced with a crucial decision regarding the starting pitcher for Game 1 of the NLDS.
