All right, rain. Can you hold off? I’m gonna be watching today’s game at The Park at Wrigley, and since I don’t think MLB will postpone the game in Washington because of rain in Chicago (the Brewers would never allow it anyway), I’m hoping it stays dry.
Here’s the Cubs’ lineup for today’s game if you missed it – Ian Happ slides into the outfield, while Jon Jay remains a bat available off of the bench.
According to FanGraphs, the Cubs odds of winning the NLDS shot up to 67.7% after their win last night. WS Odds up to 13.3%.

I have arrived at humble Nationals Park for the game, & I'm a bit surprised by the lack of fan support & amenities. Ample parking, though. pic.twitter.com/EAsfruNSMA

It feels appropriate today to point out that Cubs gold championship caps at Lids are just $20: https://t.co/1Y1h6mj39O pic.twitter.com/MJF1UgL1Fu
