Cubs look to claim NL Central crown on MLB.TV
- Updated: September 15, 2016
The very first postseason domino could fall today as the Cubs enter play in position to claim the National League Central. With a win over the Brewers or a Cardinals loss, Chicago can lock up the division and punch its ticket to the NL Division Series.
The Cubs’ potential clincher is far from the only matchup worth tuning in for today. The Giants and Cardinals open a pivotal four-game series in San Francisco with major Wild Card implications, while the Yankees continue their playoff pursuit against the first-place Red Sox at Fenway Park.
The best place to catch all the action is MLB.TV.
MLB.TV Premium has returned with the same features as last year, and is only $9.99 for the rest of the season. This package has the best value and provides access to more than 400 devices and a free subscription to the MLB.com At Bat Premium app (a $19.99 value). It offers the best picture quality ever — a new 60 frames per second — for supported devices.
Here’s what to watch for throughout the day (all times ET):
Cubs return home on the verge of division title: MIL@CHC, 8:05 p.m. The Cubs return to Chicago with an opportunity to celebrate their first NL Central title since 2008 in front of a hometown crowd today in a meeting with the Brewers at Wrigley Field. After seven seasons ceding the division to the Cardinals, Reds and Brewers, the Cubs are in prime position with a commanding 17-game lead on St. Louis.
“It’ll be fun,” Chicago’s Anthony Rizzo said. “It’s been the Cardinals’ division for so many years now. We’re going to really enjoy it when we do clinch [Thursday] or whenever it happens. We’re not going to take it for granted.”
