Cubs face Diamondbacks in important series for wild card position

The Chicago Cubs visit the Arizona Diamondbacks for a critical three-game series starting on Monday at Chase Field. The Cubs have already secured the postseason tiebreaker over both the Phillies and Padres, needing just one win against the Diamondbacks to clinch the tiebreaker for a potential Wild Card Series matchup. The Diamondbacks are currently contending with Philadelphia and San Diego for a wild card spot. Ketel Marte is on the injured list with a knee issue, and the team's performance has been inconsistent. Key pitching matchups include Kevin Gausman for the Cubs against Merrill Kelly in the opener, and Matthew Boyd facing off against Eduardo Rodriguez on Wednesday.
