Summary
The Cubs are hot on the heels of a playoff berth, just five wins away and potentially clinching as early as this Saturday — their first back-to-back postseason appearances since 2017-18. Meanwhile, the White Sox cling to hope with nine games left, tied for first but needing a furious finish to stay alive. Pitchers are shifting roles, with Gausman adapting from rotation to bullpen, as teams prioritize depth for October. Crow-Armstrong’s fWAR surge hints at historic individual stats, but all eyes now turn to team success as both Chicago clubs race toward the playoffs.
