their first World Series championship since 1908, the Chicago Cubs are beginning
to clear some hurdles along the way. After clinching a playoff spot Wednesday,
the Cubs can wrap up their first NL Central title since 2008 with a win at home
over Milwaukee or a St. Louis loss in San Francisco. Chicago has the best record
in the majors at 93-52.LETS GET WILDAll-Star arms are on the mound at AT&T
Park for the opener of a critical, four-game series between NL wild-card
contenders. Adam Wainwright (11-8, 4.45 ERA) starts for the Cardinals against
Johnny Cueto (15-5, 2.90) and the skidding Giants, just swept at home by San
Diego. San Francisco leads the wild-card race by a half-game over the Mets, with
St. Louis another half-game back.BUMPY ROADThe path to the playoffs is about to
get a lot tougher for the Yankees. New York begins a rugged road trip when
Masahiro Tanaka (13-4, 3.04 ERA) starts at Fenway Park against Red Sox lefty
Eduardo Rodriguez (2-7, 4.70). The Yankees play four games in Boston, three at
Tampa Bay and four in Toronto on an 11-game trek that matches their longest in
10 seasons. New York has dropped three of four and is two games behind Toronto
for the second AL wild card.UH, OHDesperately trying to stay in the wild-card
hunt, the Houston Astros are hoping injuries to Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman
arent too serious. A top contender for AL MVP, Altuve left Wednesday nights game
against Texas with right oblique discomfort. The star second baseman began the
night leading the league in hitting with a .340 average to go with 24 home runs,
94 RBI, 27 stolen bases and 99 runs. Bregman, a hyped rookie third baseman, left
in the sixth with right hamstring discomfort. Both players were to have a full
evaluation, manager A.J. Hinch said.HOT CORNERToronto third baseman Josh
Donaldson is waiting for results of an MRI on his sore right hip. Last years AL
MVP has missed three straight games but said he hopes to play in the series
opener at the Los Angeles Angels. J.A. Happ (18-4) starts for the slumping Blue
Jays, who have lost seven of 10. They are three games behind first-place Boston
in the AL East and hold a slim lead for the leagues second wild card.PERFECT
ENCOREDodgers lefty Rich Hill (12-3, 1.80 ERA) starts at last-place Arizona as
Los Angeles continues its 10-game trip with a five-game lead in the NL West over
San Francisco. Hill has won nine straight decisions, and was pulled with a
perfect game in progress after seven innings at Miami in his most recent outing
because of concerns about a recurring blister.
