The Cubs dropped the series finale in Atlanta on Thursday. The Marlins-Mets game has been suspended until Monday due to rain.

With three games left for the Cubs, Diamondbacks, and Reds, and with four games remaining for the Marlins, here are the remaining scenarios that would lead to a Wild Card berth for the Cubs (spoiler alert:  it's not pretty):

•Cubs win 3, Diamondbacks lose 3

•Cubs win 3, Marlins lose 2
•Cubs win 2, Marlins lose 3, and Reds lose 1

•Cubs win 1, Marlins lose 4, and Reds lose 2

The men in blue head to Wrigley North for a three-game weekend series that starts Friday.

159 games down, 3 to go.  GO CUBS GO!
