For the first time in five years, there will be Chicago Cubs blue in the MLB postseason. The Cubs beat NL Central rival Pittsburgh 8-4 on Wednesday afternoon, and officially clinched a berth in the 2025 MLB Playoffs. That capped the win – the Cubs' fourth win in a row – and officially sends the Cubs to the postseason. However, the Brewers would need to lose at least five of their remaining games if the Cubs want to catch them. If the Cubs win that series, they would then take on the Brewers in the National League Division Series.
