(670 The Score) The third-seeded Cubs will host the sixth-seeded Marlins in the best-of-three wild-card round series. The entire series will be held at Wrigley Field, and Game 1 will start at 1 p.m. CT on Wednesday.
That matchup was sealed when the Cardinals beat the Brewers on Sunday afternoon to clinch the fifth seed in the National League. The Cubs had been locked into the third seed entering the day, while the Marlins (31-29) earned the sixth seed by virtue of finishing second in the NL East while being a bit behind the Cardinals (30-28) in winning percentage.
Game times for MLB playoff games haven't been revealed beyond Wednesday yet. The Cubs-Marlins winner will advance to play in the NL Division Series at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
