Summary
The Cubs face off against the Braves in a must-win series finale, clinging to a half-game wild card lead after a brutal loss yesterday. Ian Happ returns to the starting lineup in his usual fifth spot, with Alex Bregman moving to cleanup and Michael Conforto back at DH. Happ’s solid season — .218 AVG, 23 HR, 65 RBI — makes him a key piece as GM Jed Hoyer weighs his long-term value through 2026. All eyes are on Atlanta for a potential playoff-clinching win.
