The final week of the MLB season is upon us, and Mother Nature may be about to throw a wrench into what has become an extremely close playoff race.
The Cubs currently hold the National League’s top wild-card spot over the Padres by virtue of a tie-breaker, with the Phillies one game behind them. They’re set to finish the season with a three-game set at Fenway Park against the Red Sox, who have clinched a playoff spot but aren’t yet locked into their seed. They occupy the AL’s second wild-card spot.
